I am saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Carver. He was my dentist throughout my childhood. Once, I had to have a tooth extracted & the only appointment available was on Halloween day! Dr. Carver was so kind and sympathetic. He gave me a hug & a toothbrush and assured me that the candy would taste even sweeter after the wait. He helped a scared little 10 year old girl, face a frightening situation. I never forgot that. Every time I go to the dentist, I think of him. A special note of sympathy to Janice. She was a pal back in the day. Janice you and your family are in my thoughts.
Most sincerely,
Rita Kent MS RN LCDC

I remember him fondly. I loved looking at the pictures on here. My mother so wanted to see all of you but was not able to attend. Looks like he had a wonderful life filled with family and a lot of love. Cherish those memories.
