Roy B. Carter, a Rockwall resident and retired business owner, died Jan. 17 of complications from a fall. Services for Mr. Carter, 72, were Jan. 19. Burial was in Rest Haven Memorial Park. Mr. Carter owned and operated Carter Machinery of Garland for about 30 years. He retired in the early 1990s. He was a member of an informal coffee club that met daily at the Rockwall Dairy Queen until the restaurant closed last year. Mr. Carter had been a member of the Lions Club for about two years, said his wife, Joyce Perkins Carter. "They always collected food and distributed it to the underprivileged at the Christmas season - he enjoyed doing that," she said. Mrs. Carter said her husband also had a passion for deer and quail hunting and loved fishing for catfish on Lake Ray Hubbard. Other survivors include a daughter, Lynda Taylor of Rochester, N.Y.; three sisters, Inez Jones of Sulphur Springs, Texas, Lorene Waller of Mesquite and Gladys Stevenson of Irving; three brothers, Albert Carter of Garland, Lynn Carter of Wichita Falls and Horace Norris of Commerce; two grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
