Louis Jim James Carpenter, Sr., age 66, of Miles City passed away at the Holy Rosary Heathcare Extended Care in Miles City on September 13, 2006.
Louis was born on March 18, 1940 in Manton, MI to Delvin Charles and Frances Carpenter. Louis and Rose Marie Hirdning were married on April 21, 1958 and had five children. The family moved to Miles City in 1974 where he was employed at Pine Hills School, Miles City Cab, Animal Control Warden of Miles City and at the Olive Motel where he retired from in 1995. Baseball was Louiss favorite pastime. He loved to watch the Atlanta Braves lose and The Detroit Tigers win! He loved to sit in the park and feed the squirrels. Louis enjoyed watching people, you could often find him sitting on the courthouse lawn or in his car by Big Sky Pharmacy just watching the people go by. Louie enjoyed spending time with his grandkids and great-grandkids; he gave them all their very own nickname. He was a channel surfer who enjoyed wrestling, war movies, westerns and as he called them Shootum up, bangem with blood all over movies. If you ever ate at Louis house and left hungry, it was your own fault. He had always had extra just in case! Louis was always one to think of other before thinking of himself. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Louis is survived by his wife Rose of 48 years, his brothers Delvin (Son) Carpenter and Jessie Carpenter, his children; Carol Johson of Miles City, Tina (Dwayne) Bruce of Miles City, Louie (Carmen) Carpenter of Bear Lake, MI, Kim (Mike) Neibauer of Miles City and Billy Joe (Jodi) Carpenter of Cadillac, MI, his grandchildren; Candy Carpenter, Harold (Pete) Woehl, Samantha (Jeff) Cookman, Raymond (Jana) Emeline, Andy, Mick and Josette Neibauer, Steven and David Williams, Corey Bruce and Heather and Allen Carpenter, great-grandchildren; Dominic and Cole Emiline and Christopher Cookman.
He was preceded in death by his parents; Mr. and Mrs. Delvin Charles Carpenter, sisters Maria Carpenter and Cindy Carpenter and great-granddaughters Katie Rae and Erika Rose Emeline.
