Over the course of his lifetime, Joe Carter visited dozens of countries on six
different continents. An avid hunter, Joe pursued sheep in Mongolia and Mexico
and achieved the North-American Grand Slam for sheep hunting. He also

wolverines in Canada.
Admired by his colleagues, beloved by his family, and respected in his
