One of the smartest people you would evermeet, he attended the University of Vermont, where he studiedliterature, philosophy, political science and French. (No one isquite sure how many majors he completed.) He was a deep thinker,talented writer and lifelong learner.

Carterwas an incredibly hard worker and took pride in his career as ameticulous interior painter and installer of high-end windowtreatments. He won over his clients with his charm, reliability,attention to detail and professionalism, and over the years manycustomers became friends.

ThoughCarter spent many years living in south Florida, in his heart Vermontwas always home. His happiest times were spent at the gorge, skiingwith "the boys," listening to great music, catching rays,spending holidays with family or enjoying life out on the water. Noone loved a good argument more, and whether you agreed with him ornot, you had to admire his fighting spirit and always walked awayfriends.

Wewill remember him for his tremendous charisma, quick wit, irreverenthumor, intelligence and generosity of spirit. When he laughed, youlaughed with him. He was definitely one of the good ones.

Carterloved — and was loved — fiercely.
