Reggie Carpenter

Dad It's hard having holidays without you here...but since tomorrow is Thanksgiving day...I'm giving thanks that I got to have you for the short time that you were here...I could'nt have asked for a better Dad...people tell me all the time that I remind them of you...what an honor. Miss you Daddy, Love you

Daddy we're going camping this weekend..I'd give anything for you to be there with us. I got the wood all loaded up, it's a good thing you taught me how to build a fire, its gonna be cold! I miss you so much...I really need a Dad hug lately. I remember going through a tough time before you left..you hugged me and told me to keep my chin up. So thats what I'm going to do Dad...I'm gonna keep my chin up and do the best I can do. I love you Dad, can't wait to see you and get that long awaited hug. We will have fun camping this weekend and I know you'll be smiling with us. <3

I will always affectionately remember his infectious smile that lit up his whole face.

Miss my daddy so much.

Today is your sweet Amber's wedding day. It is a very bittersweet day, because mixed in with the joy of it, is the remiinder that her daddy is not here to walk her down the isle and give her away. In my heart I know that you will be there in spirit, and I am thankful. I miss you sooooo much, especially on days like today.

I miss you everyday

I'm sure Fathers Day is much better in Heaven, but I sure wish I could spend it with you Daddy.

I need a Dad hug today...everyday.

I miss Reg too - had lots of great fellowship time with him!

Wish I could hug my Daddy tomorrow for his birthday..

His warm hugs.

I went to church with Reggie and his daughter and I were pretty close. I remember that he always brough so much joy to everyone that knew him.

Missing my daddy so much.

I miss him so much!

We met at Shoal Creek Revival, and You could not meet a nicer man. He was always willing to help in any way he could, and always with a smile on his face.

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry Is how long must I wait to be with you I close my eyes and I see your face If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow I've never been more homesick than now Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same Cause I'm still here so far away from home I close my eyes and I see your face If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow I've never been more homesick than now In Christ, there are no goodbye And in Christ, there is no end So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have To see you again To see you again And I close my eyes and I see your face If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow I've never been more homesick than now

I have so many wonderful memories he was such a great person, one of the funniest was the time our family was camping at Sugar Creek and he had on a pink tutu and was dancing around you could always count on him for a good laugh.

I miss my Daddy's hugs and holding his hand. I miss his laugh and the way he was always excited about the simple things in life.

he always had a big smile on his face every morning when he got to work he was a great guy. we worked togather

I loved being around Reggie he was a great person. I am sad that I wasnt around more liveing n Alaska did not get down that much.Love u man c u in Heaven we will play some ball.....................fred

Reggie never met a stranger. He was always so friendly and outgoing. I always wished that I could be more like him in that way. We had our share of disagreements, but he was a very good man, and a loveing father to our three girls. He worked hard to take care of us, but was always ready to joke and have fun.

Shootin bottle rockets off on the days before and on the fourth!! one time i remember that he set a bottle rocket flat on a wooden post, and i stood directly behind it. one of the sparks flew back and burned a little hole through my shirt, and my dad just laughed and laughed!!!

I remember the time I spent a week or so at your house and we were going to camp out on your trampoline. We were so determined until it started sprinkling. He told us that it really wasn't rain, and that it was airplanes emptying their toilets. that at a certain altitude is was okay because by the time it reached the ground it looked like rain.

I remember very well going to a men's retreat with Joe McGee near Eureka Springs, Arkansas, in the Fall of 1994. Reggie & I must've stayed up most of the night talking and sharing. Was a fun time!

He was like a father figure to me and i loved him for that.

When I would go camping with ya'll and we would go tubing he always made it his goal to throw me off. He never succeeded until the last time I went. I guess I can deal with one time out of a million. haha!

I remember how full of love he was. He always treated me like I was part of the family.

his version of the song LOW: shorty got them applebottom jeans and the boots with the spurrs...lol
