Philip James Carter

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Philip James Carter, in his 93rd year, on Thursday, March 19, 2026. He is now reunited with the love of his life, “Peggy,” Margaret Lillian (née Collis), and his sons, Paul Daniel and David Scott.

He will be deeply missed by his children, Janice (Steve), Terry (Dorothy), Michael (Linda), Tracey (Steve), and Jamie (Kathy) and daughters-in-law Kathy and Madeleine (Roger), as well as his many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and extended family and friends.

Philip was a dedicated and hardworking millwright at General Motors in Buffalo, where he spent 29 years building not only a career but many lasting friendships. Following his retirement, he continued to share his knowledge and passion for his trade by teaching at Niagara College.

A compassionate and understanding man, Philip devoted time to helping others through his work with a Suicide Prevention Hotline. Above all, he was an incredible father and a loyal friend, always putting the needs of others before his own.

In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place. Family and friends are invited to Benner Funeral Services, 1105 Benner Avenue, Fort Erie, on Sunday March 29th at 11:00 am to celebrate his life.

Memorial donations may be made to the Fort Erie SPCA and would be appreciated by his family.
