Gary Carpenter Obituary
of Apalachin
Gary Donald Carpenter, 64, of Apalachin died at his home on July 30, 2008. He was born on October 1st, 1943 in Endicott, N.Y. to Donald and Doris Carpenter. He was a single father of four girls: Mellissa Ann Carpenter, Kristen Marie Carpenter, Alisa May Carpenter and Corrine Pearl Carpenter. I could ask for nothing better. He is also survived by one sister, Judith Craven; two nieces, Amanda and Jessie; one nephew, Garrett Craven; and the many friends I worked with.
Memorial Services will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2008, at 2 p.m. from the Coleman and Daniels Funeral Home, Route 434, Apalachin, with Elder Eric Jackson officiating. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Saturday from 1 p.m. until the time of the service. Thanks to all my hunting and fishing buddies; I will miss that.

Melissa, Kristen, Alisa and Corrine,
My sincere sympathy to all of you on the loss of your father. I want to thank you for allowing me the priviledge of spending time with your dad these last few months. Gary had a wonderful gift of gab and I enjoyed the hours we spent talking and looked forward to the next visit. He had a special twinkle in his eyes when he spoke about his daughters. One could see how much he loved all of you. He also loved his "funny farm" as he called it-his furry family. They will miss him as well. Gary was a kind, loving and giving man who will be missed by many. Again, my deepest sympathy.
Please call me if there is anything I can do for you.
