This memorial was created in honor of John "Dick" Richard Carter of New Orleans, Louisiana. Dick was born on September 21, 1934 in New Orleans and passed on September 18, 2014, at his home just short of his 80th birthday after a long and brave battle with Parkinson's.
He is preceeded in death by his parents, John H. and Dorothy Carter Jr. and his
sister, Janice Hero. Dick will be missed and held dear by his wife of many
years, Barbara Laughlin, and his children, Julie Neill, Lisa Schneider and
Stephen Carter and six grandchildren.

Dick was a life long learner who valued intellectual study and dialogue,
searching out forums for discussion and enlightenment. He will be remembered
pecking away at his manual Underwood typewriter, composing thoughtful letters to
friends and family. Much love and gratitude goes to Requel Fields Poole and to
hospice nurses, family and friends who have given support to Dick and Barbara
throughout his long illness.
