Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

Saw on Carpenter's Facebook page that Dennis had passed yesterday. Always enjoyed visiting with him at Hershey. One day he called me at my dealership and we had a great 45 minute conversation. He did a lot for the hobby.

Re: Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

Never did get to meet him at Hersey but I bought many parts from him.
He will be truly missed by all. Heartfelt condolences to his family. Blast

True blue guy. He really liked driving his '36 Phaeton at Charlotte.

Dennis did a lot for the hobby with his repo parts that kept a lot of old Fords on the road. He was a great supporter of the Early Ford V-8 Club and the Early Ford V-8 Foundation. RIP Dennis.

Re: Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

Very sad to hear that Dennis is gone. Met him several times at Hershey. Carpenter's reproduction parts were one of the best, and I always prefer them.

A gentleman's gentleman who was without a peer in his contributions to the hobby; may he rest in peace knowing he will always be remembered.

Re: Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

Never met the man, have always heard good things about him . . . and coming from you, I'm sure the perspectives were all ture.

RIP Dennis, thanks for all your contributions and for all you've done for us.

Re: Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

Super guy in all respects. Always came by and chatted at our flea market spaces. Bought and sold lots from him. I used to do all the bearing work on his early poured main bearing engines when they were in the engine selling business. RIP

Re: Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

I used to talk to him on occasion at Autofair in Charlotte and at his business. Fine guy, he will leave a hole in a lot of lives.

Re: Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

A big loss to the hobby, a much bigger loss to his many, many friends. My condolences to his family, Dennis was a truly good man.

Great friend of all. He played toy trains as well. He was a great friend to the old car hobby and to all of us.

Sat next to Dennis by accident at the Ford Piquette Plant luncheon at the 2018 Nats at Dearborn. I'm sure he was not feeling well at that time as he was very quiet. The irony of it all was we were all wearing ID tags supplied by Bob Drake! Of course I still have mine. R.I.P. Dennis.... Bill

Re: Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

Sorry to hear about his passing. I have known Dennis for years, even when he was very much overweight. Never could get used to the slender version. RIP Dennis.

Re: Dennis Carpenter, R.I.P.
 

Yeah RIP Dennis. I bought my first ever resto parts from you when I had to mail an order away with a postal order and had to wait 3 or so months for the stuff to arrive down here at the "ass end of the world"..... then the internet arrived and made it easier. Thanks for your great Service.

Over many decades I enjoyed visiting with Dennis at Hershey every year. He was thoughtful, sincere and an absolute gentleman. His fondness for old Fords and own outstanding collection was deep and his knowledge vast. He made a major contribution to our interest with his high quality reproductions. He will be missed by all who knew him.
