Carter and I had been in court past lunch representing one of his clients. He always bought my lunch in lieu of a fee. We went to his friends restaurant to eat that had closed for the day. He knew his way around. He served me a dish of ice cream for my lunch. He couldn't find a spoon so he gave me fork. The ice cream was still good as best I remember.
I'll always miss my buddy. Rest In peace my dear friend.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Summerlin. I didn't have the privilege of having met him, but have heard nothing but good things about him. He will continue to live in the hearts and minds of those who loved him and through the stories which are bound to be recalled and retold for years to come.
