Read More	Kent, Neil's son, wrote this obituary: Neil Sargent Carter has sung his final in our world. Neil passed away this last Thursday, Feb. 3, joining his wife Leona, who passed away this last August. He was born on Jan. 14, 1915, in Friday Harbor at his home on Argyle Street, where he spent his childhood years. Neil graduated from Friday Harbor High School and breifly attended the University of Washington. Next he spent several years in San Francisco where he took voice lessons, annoying some tenants in the apartments where he stayed, but fortunately, charming the landlord. After some wild years in San Francisco, he joined the army and was stationed in Hawaii where he witnessed the attack on Pearl Harbor. This was enough to persuade him to get married and settle down. While stationed in Hawaii Neil met the love of his life, Leona. She was on the Island of Hawaii near Hilo teaching music. They met at a social picnic where Neil sang and caught Leona's attention. They were married July, 1945 in Honolulu. After the war Neil and his wife settled in Sacramento and raised their family. In 1972 they retired to Friday Harbor, where they built their custom home overlooking the San Juan channel and Mt. Baker. Neil had many loves. He took great pride in his garden, where there was always something blooming. He enjoyed sharing his flowers with the local churches on Sunday mornings. His great love of art won him many ribbons in the San Juan County Fair. Throughout their fifty-three years of marriage Neil and Leona continued to share their love of music with others. Many people enjoyed Neil's beautiful tenor voice, accompanied by Leona on the piano. In his younger days he sang with the San Fancisco Opera as a member of the chorus. He enjoyed traveling and on road trips always took the road less traveled. All who knew him enjoyed Neil's zest for life. He will always be in our thoughts and prayers. He is now with the Lord. We will all miss him. He leaves behind two sons, Keith Carter of San Francisco and Kent Carter of Seattle as well as five grandchildren. Surviving Neil are his brothers, Alan Carter of Friday Harbor, Gordon Carter of Bellingham and Celia Gregory of Friday Harbor. There will be a private graveside service for the family. There will be a memorial service to celebrate his life at St. David's Episcopal Church at 1 pm. on Saturday, Feb. 12. All who knew Neil are invited to attend. There will be a reception following the memorial in the fellowship hall. If desired please make remembrances to your favorite local arts program in Neil's memory.
