Obituary for James Louis Carter, Jr.
James L. Carter Jr. was born in Saginaw, Michigan, on December 2, 1952, to his loving parents, the late James Carter and Louise (Macklin) Carter, both of Memphis, Tennessee. His parents later moved to Boston, Massachusetts.
James received his high school diploma and graduated from Dorchester High School in 1972. He also attended night classes to further develop his talents and become a licensed pipefitter. He went on to work for Carlisle Engineering Automatic Sprinkler, where he dedicated 34 years of service. Through his hard work and dedication, James became a foreman and remained in that position until his retirement in 2009.
Those who knew James knew him as a kind, hardworking, and funny man with a great sense of humor even up to his last days with us. James was a loving and devoted husband to Rita K. Jackson-Carter, who stood by his side through life’s joy and challenges.
James was a proud father to the late Dr. James Pierce (son), Jason Pierce (son), Nicole Jackson (step-daughter), and the late Phillip Gunter Jackson (step-son). He was also a loving bonus father to Terrance Eady and Felisha Branch.
James will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his devoted sisters, Patricia Carter, Nida Carter-Barrel (Fleming Barrel brother in law); and his favorite niece, Roslyn Russell.
James was preceded in death by his parents, James and Louise Carter; his brother, Lewis Carter; his sister, Anetta Copeland; and his brother-in-law, Charles Russell.
He also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
James will be deeply missed, but his love, strength, dedication, and memories will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him

James will be missed. I knew and worked with James about 12 years at Carlysle . A very good person with a heart of gold. Quick to tell joke he had heard. Seems he always had a smile even when you could tell something was troubling him. And always made me feel like family. God speed old friend.

James was the first person I worked with when I got into the Union in 2004. He called me a hippy because I had long hair. And over the next 5 years James and I spent a lot of time together over many different projects and having many great conversations I'll never forget the day he came to me in 2009 and said see ya later kid Im retired. It was an honor to know him. My condolences from my family to yours. Peter Fraenkel

Uncle James, you will definitely be missed. I will miss saying something stupid and you would give that smile shaking your head. You brought joy to us all Unc. Things will never be the same I keep forgetting things will never be the same anymore. I would walk in your step but they are some big foot steps to fill.

What's up Pops?! You were always a man of integrity. Thankfully,I had benefit of my entire life to be instilled with your love and discipline. So to be your son was always an honor. Thanks pop for being there to raise me and be at my side every time I needed help. The man who would change places with me quicker than the blink of an eye is no more,and I'm afraid I won't find any replacement. Rest easy Pop, love you and Mama Rida very much! Love your son Jason Pierce!
