Tris M. Carta

Great track coach. I had faster times with him than in college. He lived 3 houses down from me and drove me home after practice.

To the family of Tris Carta: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many reasons to thank Coach Carta:
Thank you for having me on your Greenfield Hill Pharmacy Little League team;Thank you for having me to your summer baseball camp; Thank you for the Yale Football tickets; Thank you for taking me to the Lions International Awards dinner while my dad was out of town; Thank you for coaching Ludlowe track and getting me involved in the decathlon events;Thank you for being our neighbor.....

Having lost touch with Coach Carta since moving west in 1993, I was saddened to learn that he will only continue to exist in my memory. Coach Carta, later Tris, was a great influence on my life at Roger Ludlowe H. S. as a member of his track teams from 1960 -1964. He taught me it was possible to do the impossible and although never the greatest runner, I succeeded to a level beyond my expectation.

I first met Coach Carta when I attended Roger Ludlowe High School, in my Freshman year,(1972-76) He was a True Professional that always had time for his students.

He was a wonderful man, a man to whom I am forever grateful

Dear Carta's

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. When I didn't hear from Tris after learning of the fall on Wednesday I hoped it was a good sign, but sadly it was just the opposite.

My thoughts are with you all in this difficult time.

From the patients of Doctor Angelee, our deepest condolences and sympathy.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I...
