With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Gregory Carter Sr. of Albion, IN.
The following words honor a life that mattered to many.
Gregory held deeply to the Catholic faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
A life of belief is a life of quiet conversation with something larger.
