At Gary Carter’s Memorial, Remembrances of Baseball, Faith and Family - NYTimes.com - Andrew Keh - “I gotta say, he idolized me,” said the Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench, drawing laughter in the sanctuary. “But as we sit here tonight, I feel inadequate with the things he accomplished — the family, the pastors, the friends, the respect — to think about that smile, to think about the person he was.” Bench said Carter had always wanted to manage in the major leagues. “Nobody was that smart to hire him,” he said.
Baseball great Gary Carter remembered for enthusiasm, outreach and 'that 'Kid' smile' - Palm Beach Post - Hal Habib -- "I was young, I was naive," Strawberry said. "I thought life was going to go on forever. And Carter's personality was he never tried to force his faith on anybody, but he would always encourage you that God loves you. "Gary has helped so many people. He's had a tremendous impact on my life and why my life has changed so much. He was one of the first ones to sit with my wife and tell her how proud he was of me, that I found my faith and I changed my life."
