Condolence From: Shem & Saherra Banks
Condolence: To the family, Brother Carter was an excellent brother. His loyalty to Jehovah and his zeal for the ministry set an example for us all. He truly will be missed. His and BC's face were a constant joy during the week and a stable force in the Arnett and Genesee Valley famalies. May Jehovah continue to provide you comfort in the days and weeks to come. We all look forward to the time when Jehovah will take this last enemy, and completely decimate it. With love, the Banks family

Condolence: Brother Larry Carter Sr.(Dad) took personal interest in me, a young adolescent, at a very delicate time in my life. All in obedience to the command to look after the fatherless boy. That interest provided a peak into what a servant of Jehovah, what a father, and what a man could and should be.(1Kings 2:1-3) It took time(some years) for me to see the gem of his efforts. Although life for me is still a work in progress, I'm very grateful to Jah, though, for the timing of our meeting. Also for the opportunity to thank him personally for being there for me at that time. I said Dad because that's just the thought that comes to mind when I've thought about those moments. His way of communicating and teaching... unique. Balanced. Serious and yet tempered with a healthy dose of funny bone. A gift. Although imperfect, he made no excuse to shy away from the work he was given to do for the King. A fine example. He rests now, safely in Jehovah's memory. I pray that Jehovah actively supplies power by virtue of his spirit to his loved ones that will endure and carry him close in their memory. We look forward to seeing

Condolence From: Mary H. Carter
Condolence: Oh Larrry! Words cannot express how much you are missed from being in our presence. I will always remember what you would normally say to me. You always said, I will never forget your age because our birthday is two weeks apart and in the same month. I am so grateful we all dined together on last summer. I know that the gathering on last summer was in God's plan and purpose for our lives. The circle has been broken but we as a family will always keep you in our hearts. I will always remember your loving, kind and humerous personality. Sleep on my cousin and rest in peace. Love, Mary!

Condolence: Deepest sympathy and condolences goes to my dear family. Although this indeed is a sad time, the only thing I can seem to remember is the awesome times I did share with uncle Larry. He was such a lively and sweet individual well known to me for eating hot chili peppers! I love you all and I pray that your strength and good memories comfort you at this time.

Condolence: It's really hard to put into words how you feel about losing someone you love...even if its temporary. I absolutely loved and adored Bro. Carter Sr. I think about how kind and encouraging he's been to me and my entire family. Never judgmental and he always had a kind word for you. He was such a good father and husband and an amazing shepherd in the congregation. I remember being in his book study group for years and how much I enjoyed that. He had such a great sense of humor and he passed that down to his children as well. I am so grateful that I have been able to be a part of his family. He is as good as alive in Jehovah's eyes. My hope and prayer if for his family to endure this loss and for all of us to be there to welcome him back. In the meantime he will be missed beyond words...

Condolence From: Thomasina Meade
Condolence: Larry, this is very difficult for me, your sister to have to write these comments about you. But I will write. The years we have had together were so wonderful, so precious that words cannot really describe the shared moments together. I have learned so much from you, my Dear Brother. You are loving, very giving and I truly admired how you dealt with your loving wife and children. You certainly set a fine example as a father and a parent. I also admired you for the love you had for Jehovah. You tirelessly spent your time preaching, teaching and declaring the Good News. I am short on words now, but I just want you to know that I love you and will always love you. I am so anxiously waiting to see you again in PARADISE. Until that time, we will just work hard - very hard, To meet you and see you in the resurrection when you stand up again with a farming implement in one hand, and the Bible in the other... Your sister, Tommie.

Condolence: My dearest and deepest condolences to Mr.Carter Jr and his family. I never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Carter Sr but feel like I New him very well because Jr would always talk to me about his Father. I learned that Mr. Carter Sr was a gardener, jokester, an avid angler and a great Father and Husband. He was dearly loved and respected by his son and my dear friend Mr. Carter Jr. May God comfort and bless you all through this challenging time.

Condolence: Larry will truly be missed. Serving along side of him for many years caring for the friends was an honor. He was always ready to assist and encourage his fellow brother's and sister's and I learned a great deal from him. A true example worthy of imitation. Larry also loved the Pioneer work. He always carried a smile that was contagious and uplifting. He had a sense of humor that would make you laugh for days as you would look back and think about what he said or did. I will miss those moments and look forward to the day when we can laugh together again in the near future. I thank him for always treating me like part of the family as has the rest of the family and express my deepest condolences to all Carter and Meade

Condolence: My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Larry Carter Sr. There is no more difficult experience in life than the loss of someone we love. My favorite story about Larry Carter Sr. is when he told his children not to open the door as it was unsafe to do so. After the children promised to obey, he and his wife left the house. Some time passed at home when suddenly the doorbell rang. Running over to the door, just as they promised not to do, the kids through the door wide open. Before they knew what was going on, they were covered in a blanket that tied them together. Kicking and screaming out of fear, they were beat by someone. It ended as quickly as it all started, the kids left alone in the house with no clue as to what just happened. Upon returning home, Larry Carter Sr. asked his children how everything went when he was gone. โ€œDid anyone come to the door? Did you open the door?โ€ โ€œNo!โ€ was the emphatic answer from his children; the wrong answer! Everyone got beat twice that day, once for lying and once by Larry Carter Sr. when he first opened the door and wrapped his kids up in a blanket. How effective at teaching an important life lesson. May Jehovah comfort you through this most difficult time!

Condolence From: Tina Terese Carter
Condolence: My deep and sincere condolences to all in our family. My prayers continue that we remain faithful and keep our Bible-based hope alive during this very sad time. My Father-n-law, Larry Sr was an endearing and spiritual man. He was kind, a good listener, generous, and even hilarious at times. During visits to his home he would say, "Tina and Larry, let's get some tomatoes, greens and hot peppers out of the garden for you to take home!" He would grow these extremely hot peppers, break a very small piece of the hot pepper, and tell me to try it. Knowing my whole mouth would be on fire, he would let out a loud hearty laugh! He always made sure that we left his home with food, fruits and vegetables. He so loved life. There were times when he was serious, and yet he knew how to have a fun time. When I lost my Grandparents and Dad in death, and experienced other difficult situation in life, he would call me on the phone and say just the right words to strengthen and build me up. If I could not pick up the phone, he would leave a voice message. I would save these messages to listen to when I needed it again. His words, and scriptures from the Bible would always touch my heart and make me cry, and sometimes even make me laugh. I also remember good times sitting at their home at the kitchen table. It was Barbara, Larry Sr and Larry Jr. We would laugh about funny things in life - so hard sometimes that we would be crying. We all would talk and had enlightening conversations about "spiritual gems" we enjoyed from the meetings, personal study, JW Broadcasting etc. It was just like the kind of "digging" we would do in the Pioneer Service School for study. He LOVED and APPRECIATED Jehovah and His Word, the Bible. He would share insights he gathered from his personal Bible reading, motivating me to keep on searching for more treasures. Field service with him was always exciting as he was so zealous, enthusiastic and bold about sharing the Bible's message - and with ANYBODY! After working with him in service I always left feeling so encouraged and with more confidence. I thank Jehovah for giving me the privilege of knowing and learning from such a loving man. I look forward to seeing his warm smile and hearing his laughter in Paradise. I will tell him how much I missed him, and explain how he touched my life in a special way. He reminded me that JOY is a state of great happiness and he did not want me to be overly sad about anything. So I will take to heart what he always said to me: "Tina, may the JOY OF JEHOVAH BE YOUR STRONGHOLD!" (Nehemiah 8:10) Tina Terese Carter, his Daughter-n-law.

Condolence From: Larry E. Carter Jr
Condolence: This was difficult to write, but here it goes... Larry Edward Carter Sr, my father and my dad, teacher and mentor,counselor,protector, provider and true shepherd. I loved this extraordinary man. He loved Jehovah and His Word, the Bible and helped me to appreciate the privilege of having a good relationship with Jehovah. We would have long spiritual discussions. Dad helped me to overcome prejudice with 2 scriptures- John 3:16 and John 13:34,35. I loved my father. By his example in loving his wife, Barbara of nearly 50 years, Dad taught me how to love my wife, Tina of nearly 28 years and counting. Dad's love for people was clearly evident throughout his life. Larry E. Carter Sr was a faithful servant of Jehovah and we will all see him soon. Remember Dad's favorite scripture: Neh. 8:10 "......and do not be sad, for the joy of Jehovah is my stronghold." Son, Larry Jr
