Steven R. Carpenter

HI Carpenters, Just wanted to share with you. We just had our CertainTeed Sales Meeting in Dec. We told stories about Steve and what a passionate + fun person he always was. We toasted to him. He will never be forgotten as he was 1 of our CertainTeed Brothers. Hoping you can find some joy in the Holiday Season with your family. Love, Rick DeMild, Boston, Ma.

Hi Julie, You don't know me but I am a CertainTeed guy who knew Steve. I am beyond sorry for your loss. 21 years ago Steve was 1 of the 1st people I met. He was always a positive role model for me. He was so passionate about the business and I learned a lot from him. I am going to share a story that I hope makes you laugh a little. The 1st time I met Steve he said " Rick, you look like your in shape, I said TU Steve you as well. Steve said yup, I was in the Marines but had to get out, I...

Julie, and family, I was very sad to see the passing of Steve. Having known him his entire length of time with Certainteed building products ,I found him to be on astoundingly fair,cheerful, helpful ,individual. I looked forward to our time together at all the trade shows and our interactions when I had issues notably with our siding. I spoke to him right before his retirement, which coincided primarily with my own. I felt we rode the waves together all those years. i´m truly sorry he didn´t...

Steve was one of a kind and his zest for life intoxicating. I truly enjoyed working with him as there was never, I mean never a dull moment. One evening he met my parents, as we were leaving my mother looked at him and said... "You are a Happy Man". Indeed he was. I'll miss you my friend, Rest in Peace.

We can only imagine how your heart is feeling now. Find comfort with friends and family who love you and will get you through this difficult time. Please know that even though we didn't know Steve, any brother of yours must have been pretty special. We love you!

Steve will always be in my heart. I will think about him when I hear a Dad joke. I will roll my eyes thinking about him laughing before he finished a joke. I cry when I see his picture knowing that I'll never hear his laugh again. I love you, my brother and always will.

We are saddened by this news. Thinking of your family as you begin the altered life you are now facing. In God´s love, Mark and JoAnn Bailey Liverpool, NY
