JOHN TAGGARD CARPENTER

This gentle man was a mentor and influenced my life greatly. I had the pleasure of working for him - and with him. I carry with me always, the lessons he taught me, just by being an example of how to walk through life - with integrity and compassion. Thank you, John.

Patriarch of a wonderful family.

I have such fond memories of this kind and generous gentleman. John helped strengthen the nonprofit world and graced us all with his leadership and love.

Scott,
Though I haven't seen you since high school, I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. My most sincere sympathy to you and your family.

Terri and I are sorry to hear of John passing away. He was a wonderful guy, and a leader in the Burlington community for many years. He was a true gentleman, and will be greatly missed.
Our condolences to the entire Carpenter family.

Mr. Carpenter was one of the nicest and finest people I ever met. Always had a smile...always took an interest in people...always so positive. The world would be a much better place if there were more John Carpenters.
My condolences to the entire family.

I was young when we moved from Burlington but visited often until college. The highlight of any trip was a visit with the Carpenters at Oakledge. I know my parents always spoke highly of their friends Connie and John. They lived a wonderful life together and are now reunited.

I had the pleasure of taking car of Mr. Carpenter at Wake Robin. I would play the recorder for him, he had a heart of gold and I will truly miss him. He has forever touched my heart and has made me a better care giver and person!
