Paul Franklin Carpenter, 79, of Charleston, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Wednesday, February 28, 2018, at CAMC Genetal Hospital, Charleston.
He was born June 20, 1938, in Charleston, to the late Russell and Della Mae Layton Carpenter. Paul was also preceded in death by his wife, Geraldine Carpenter.
Paul was a proud Navy veteran, having served his country during the Vietnam War.
Dad loved to sit on his porch swing, smoke his cigars and people watch. He loved to tell stories and make them sound so real but ended up being a joke. He was a jokester and smiled a lot. Dad was one sharp dresser, always had to look his best and he loved to travel.
He was a very active member of his church, Jarrett Memorial Methodist, Elkview and loved the Lord.
Paul is survived by his children, Paula Tuttle and husband, Joseph, Paul Carpenter, Tina Carpenter and boyfriend, Scott Alcorn and Trenda Carpender and boyfriend, Jerry Cooksey; grandchildren, Adam Smith, Stacy Hopper and wife, Beth, Dustin and Jason Carpenter, Nicholas Leach, Brooke Leach, Brian Whitworth and Amy Gormley and husband, Cody; seven great granddaughters; four great grandsons and sisters, Nancy Montgomery, Argathia 'Babe' Carpenter and Geneva 'Nebo' Corby.
