I had the pleasure of working with Coach Carter in support of the African American Heritage Festival. We had wonderful conversations regarding his time as an elite athlete and Coach/Teacher at R.E Lee. He was a positive, engaging person, and very humble considering his substantial accomplishments. He was a legendary figure to the hundreds of local athletes he encouraged and coached as young people. Staunton has lost a true pillar of the community.

I was so glad I was able to see and talk with Coach in the last few weeks. We laughed and as always he made me feel better. When I first met him he was my coach, but more importantly now I consider him a friend. Thanks for everything Coach!

So sorry to hear about "my man". During my four years at R E Lee, Doug was not only my best assistant coach but also a close friend and confidant. May he rest in peace.

RIP Coach Carter. He actually made learning fun in History class and worked with me thru some learning curves. I loved to hear all his N.C. state football stories...especially the one about Graceland. He will be missed.
