Mr. Carter was my band director at Ribault Jr. High, I play the drums, mainly bass. At the end of my 8 the grade I was asked to play the tuba in the Sr. High. I have always thought of him often, the way he would make us hold a piece of paper on the black board with our noise, if it fell we would get the board of Ed. But what I remember most was how much he would STAND UP FOR HIS STUDENTS. I had lost contact of him for years, then I met Mr. Gil Conn and told me he was living in Tavares, and he had cancer, we put him on our pray list at church. I never new his family, but you had a great husband and dad. I will never forget what he meant to me. May God bless you, the family.

Roy was a true friend not just as a fellow amateur radio operator but as a FRIEND.
We had many fun times and times when he would council me on various affairs
both personal and worldly. He will be missed. My thoughts go out to his family.

Mr. Carter was such a mentor to me when I was in the Ribault Jr. High Band from '62-'64. I played trumpet and he promoted me to the 8th grade band when I was in the 7th grade. In the 8th grade I was 1st Lieutenant and Mr. C. got me a teachers desk in his office. He and I would sit in his office and talk nearly every day. Next to my Dad he had the biggest impact on my life. God Bless you Mr. Carter.

I first met Roy in high school when we were in Glee Club and we were rehearsing an operetta in the spring of 1948, and we dated for 3 years. The next time I heard from him was October 2013 when he heard I had had surgery for breast cancer and asked if I needed any help. We became friends again and I stayed with him on occasions when Rick had to be away. We talked of the times we had in school, hayrides to football games, proms, places he and Patsy visited, bands he played in, schools he worked in and all the good friends he had. I'm glad I got to know him again. May he rest in peace and join with Patsy again.
