Unfortunately, I did not know your dad. My husband David Ford was a manager of Red Stick Linen, which was merged with Cintas Corporation. David died in March of this year, and I have been going through his office. After he retired from Cintas he taught as a clinical professor in the business school at the University of Alabama. In some of his boxes of information, I found a Merger Mania book and illustration that I believe was drawn by James C. Carpenter. This could have been from the late 1980's. If you are interested, I would be glad to mail this to you. I am very sorry for your loss. I am also grieving. David and I were married 43 years. Wishing you comforting memories.
Sincerely,
Linda Ford

Jill and family, please accept our deepest condolences. We will surely miss your dad's smiling face! He was always so happy to see us, so quick with a hug and handshake. He was truly one of the good guys!

This is my favorite quote, it holds a lot of truth:

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

My deepest sympathy to Jim's whole family but am directing my personal message to Lynne & Joan - the rest of the family would not know me - I am the last of the Bash clan that lived down the road from your family - we were childhood friends - Jim was the baby but he was always such a cute kid and if my memory serves me well, he and my brother Stan were pretty good friends. I know how difficult it is to lose a sibling - my thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time. Grief is not easy but time does heal - we never forget but it takes time to heal. God Bless all of you.
Joyce (Bash) McMullen.

I worked with "Carp" from 1981 to the day he retired. Always, always pleasant. He was outgoing and friendly with a quite soul. He will be greatly missed. Comforting to know he and his wife are holding hands forever.
