To my cousins, your father was a rock and so good to all of us. I have sweet memories of Richwalski's resort in Rhinlander, Christmases and Sundays at Grandma Carpenters such fun times. We always looked forward to our visits with your parents and Judy, Cathy and Mike in AZ. Your dad was generous, kind and fun! A man with great faith and integrity. He will be missed by Dom and I. We send our condolences and love to all of you.

What an accomplished man and blessing to SCJ and you! We have fond memories of your family´s time on Sheraton Dr. Your Mom was our second mother in times of need. Our sincere condolences.

I always appreciated Mr. Carpenter´s patient and joyful tone of the ball games that brought our neighborhood kids together. His love of Jesus showed up every inning! Thanks!

Never a dull moment around Bill and Dick! I never could figure out whose stories were true.

I just loved Uncle Dick - who didn't! He was just special and all the memories of him were happy, fun, and lasting. He's a precious treasure!

Dick was among the most delightful people I worked with at S.C. Johnson. As he rose through the ranks to become CEO, he never lost his sense of humor and humility, and he was consistently a man of high integrity. It was an honor to know him and a real pleasure to work with him.

Our Condolences to Judy and her family in the loss of a Truly Great Human Being! Don had the pleasure of working at SCJ and knowing Mr. Carpenter with fond memories!! May his memory be a Blessing! We are very sorry for your loss!

A truly exceptional human being! My condolences to my friend Judy and the entire family. May his memory be a blessing.

I had the pleasure of working and getting to know Dick for many years working at SCJ. He was an intelligent awesome person who loved people and was a great family person. So very very sorry for your loss.
