Robert K. Carter, 71, of Royal Palm Beach, FL, passed away on December 10th, 2020 after a courageous battle with Dementia. Bob was the loving husband of Bonnie E. Carter with whom he had been married to for 40 years. Bob was born in Frankfurt, Germany and grew up in Philadelphia and Southampton, PA, later moving to Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Bob was the successful owner of B. Carter Trucking and Excavating, Inc. for almost 20 years, until which time he decided to focus on real estate where he enjoyed a very successful career, until finally retiring in 2017. Bob was extremely dedicated to his family and was always willing to help anyone in need. He was a successful and humble self-made man with a strong work ethic and was determined to teach his children the importance of providing a great life for their family. Bob was very generous and good-hearted and was known for his Christmas and holiday decorations which all his neighbors and family enjoyed. Bob absolutely loved fishing and boating and when he had time, would take his family and friends out on his boat or spend time fishing from the dock or in the canal. Bob always spoke about how proud he was of his son's, grandchildren and daughter in-law's. Bob was predeceased by his mother Anna and his father Robert. Bob is survived by his wife Bonnie, two sons Robert and Michael, one stepson Mark, several grandchildren; Robert, Kyla, Brendan, Anthony and Maria, and one brother Hans. Bob will be missed by his family with memories to cherish. Never to be forgotten and loved forever and always. We are remembering Bob with a contribution to the Lewy Body Dementia Association.

As I take a walk down memory lane With the loss of you Uncle Bob, I see a life time flash before my eyes. Our Family has shared so many gatherings in the past. You were there for many of us. You were there for me from the time I was born. My Parents couldn't of picked a better God Father for me. You were at my soccer games many of times showing your support. You were at many events for many of us. Showing your family support. Later on as I grew if you were not there physically you were there to lend an ear and to give me advice. You were a big support for me when my Mother (Helga) passed away. I can never thank you enough for the words you shared it showed how much you cared. As much as we all are hurting with you having to leave, I have to try to find comfort in my mind and in my heart that you are still here with all of us with the teachings you left behind. You fought many battles in your life time. You were always a strong man doing what you needed to do to survive the challenges placed in front of you. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgment, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the things you said and done. But You are not gone You are the Sunrise in the morning to awaken life's offerings You are the sunset and evening stars that shine brightly upon us You are the morning dew that gives life to the plants that grow You are the fish that swim freely in the waters that give everything life You are that Eagle flying high above our heads keeping an eye on us The eagle that is free of pain soaring Free You are the Ocean Waves flowing freely in the seas for all to see and hear You are the strength with in us that you shared The life's teachings to show you cared May you be resting easy up in the Heaven's above with the rest of the family finally free of pain. You will always be Loved dearly and missed but will be remembered in our Mind's and heart's with the footprints left behind. Uncle Bob Forever in our Hearts and minds. Love you and miss you dearly

Miss you a lot! Will always remember the fishing trips, the awesome cookouts, and hours just sitting on the canal talking. It could be talking about fishing, about stocks or just anything on our mind. You would just listen for hours. I'll miss that a lot.
