Harry Robert Carpenter, Jr.

Harry Carpenter - A Road Less Traveled Harry was a loving father, friend and husband. He also was a WW2 Army Air Corps pilot, federal investigator, poet, writer, Champion of Justice, and storyteller. He lovingly cared for our mom, Eileen, while she struggled with Alzheimer's disease until she died. They were married 64 years. Harry dearly loved and appreciated those individuals who provided comfort and care (and dancing to Alexa music) during his residence here. Also dearly loved were his lovely friends and the time spent with them at activities and events. He was deeply loved. At his 99th birthday, he declared that he was the luckiest man who ever lived. He said he had everything he had ever wanted. Harry had an exceptional understanding of the world we live in. He never stopped maturing and expanding his knowledge. Dad continued to read at least a book every week and was up on current events - including politics, sports and finance. Our hearts are broken, but his legacy of love and learning will live on in our family and we are grateful that he was our dad.
