John Richard "Dick" Carter

John Richard "Dick" Carter passed away September 18, at his home just short of his 80th birthday after a long and brave battle with Parkinson's. He is preceded in death by his parents, John H. Jr. and Dorothy Carter and his sister, Janice Hero. Dick will be missed and held dear by his wife of many years, Barbara Laughlin, and his children, Julie Neill, Lisa Schneider and Stephen Carter and six grandchildren. Dick was a lifelong learner who valued intellectual study and dialogue, searching out forums for discussion and enlightenment. He will be remembered pecking away at his manual Underwood typewriter, composing thoughtful letters to friends and family. Much love and gratitude goes to Requel Poole Fields and to hospice nurses, family and friends who have given support to Dick and Barbara throughout his long illness. A private celebration will be planned at his home. Barbara invites you to post your memories, reflections and photos at www.never-gone.com/memorials/DickCarter.
