Robert Carter Obituary
Concord, NH - Robert David Carter Sr. (famously known as Bob) age 67 passed suddenly Friday October 20th 2023 at Concord Hospital. He was born in Concord, son of the late David and Beulah (Sargent) Carter. Bob graduated Pembroke Academy and went on to receive his Associates degree in Landscape Architecture from NHTI. He then started and operated Landscape Dreams.
He was known as a very giving man who could always find the time to help anyone in need especially if something was broken. He enjoyed fishing, lobstering, golfing, skiing, puzzling and Sudoku. He loved watching sports and rarely missed any football game, especially our NE Patriots. The things he cherished most were time with his wife, sons, family, friends and especially his beloved grandchildren.
He is survived by his loving wife of nearly 50 years Bonnie (Perron) Carter, 2 sons; Robert Carter with wife Caity and Brad Carter. 6 grandchildren; Bailey, Avery, Myles, Jaxon, Brookelyn and Remington. 11 siblings; Sue, Willie, Jayne, Reggie, David, Deane, Kathy, Glenda, Danny, Dawn and Lucas.
Visiting hours will be held on Thursday November 2 from 2-5pm at the Waters Funeral Home, 50 South Main Street, Concord.
In lieu of flowers the family is asking for donations to be made to the Concord Boys & Girls Club or Concord High School Wrestling Booster Club in His Name.

Bonnie and family, my deepest condolences to all of you. Bob is an amazing man with many talents. We have a friendship that grew from being neighbors and I always felt like I had a "big brother" living close by. Rest in peace Bob. You will be missed.

To Bonnie and the whole Carter family, I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. As you may remember I spent much of my childhood in the Carter home and Bob was one of my closest childhood friends. I have wonderful memories of 4-H shows, swimming at camp, and sliding on HorseCorner Rd. Bob you will be missed by so many... but proof of a good life is a wonderful family and you and Bonnie certainly achieved that. Rest in peace old friend, God certainly has a special place there for you

To all my cousins and their families. Bobby will always have a place in my heart. Summers at camp could never have been what they were without his teasing and kindness. Love to all, Pat (Watts)

To the whole family - so sorry and sad about your loss. Bob spoke of you all so happily and proudly anytime we got together. The first time meeting Bob, he made it feel like we'd known each other all along. Lee said "that's Bob". As I think of Bob now, everything I knew about him reminds me to just try and be kind, enjoy life however big or small it is at the moment and unapologetically help whomever I want to help. (He helped with a capital H) Those are the things I saw in him, and it was always so nice and uplifting to spend time with somebody like that. He is hugely missed.

Brad, my heart goes out to you for the loss of your father. I hope your happy memories will help you through this difficult time. My memory is of him is driving by the house with his landscaping trailer following behind. He would always wave.
