OBIT:
Robert "Bob" Carpenter
9/20/1934 – 4/28/2011
Bob Carpenter was born in Moorhead Minnesota on September 20, 1934 and passed away Thursday April 28th with his family at his side.
Bob was raised in North Dakota, and from his youth he was a hard worker on various farms around his hometown of Arnegard. He joined the army at the age of 18 and worked as a surveyor in Korea during the war there. Upon returning home he ultimately moved to San Diego where he found the weather far superior to his boyhood home in North Dakota.
In 1964 Bob married Edith Fisher and quickly adopted her two children from a prior marriage, Marjie and Chuck. Bob and Edith delighted in travel and visited much of the world including Europe, Australia, China and more.
Bob found work with San Diego County and started attending night classes at San Diego State. He received a Bachelor's Degree in psychology and went to work for the San Diego Sheriff's Department as a Correctional Counselor. He retired after 25 years with the County in 1990.
He remained active in retirement and served as the Executive Director of the Nonprofit Federation for Housing and Community Development. In this position he helped to develop resources for low income housing.
Bob was the founder of the San Carlos Club of the NAIC and taught investment strategies in his and Edith's home for many years.
But Bob's biggest investments were always in the people around him. He had a knack for helping those who were stumbling and providing greater inspiration to the successful.
There will be an open house for friends and family to celebrate Bob's life at Featheringill Mortuary on Monday, May 2 from 4-8pm. Featheringill is located at 6322 El Cajon Blvd.
Bob was a past president of the Mount Helix Toastmaster's Club, and they will be hosting an evening of fun and remembrance at 7pm on Wednesday, May 4th. The club meets at the Otay Water District, 2554 Sweetwater Springs Blvd in Spring Valley.
Bob is survived by his wife Edith and two children, Marjie of Salt Lake City, Utah; and Chuck of Smyrna, Tennessee, and his wife, Rebecca and Bob's granddaughter Elizabeth; Bob's brother Richard, and nephews, John and Richie; nieces, Linda and Ruth.
In lieu of flowers the family encourages you to donate to your favorite charity in Bob's name.
