OBIT:
Lewis Glen Carpenter was born in Hayti, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1932, to Verba Glen Carpenter and Edna Earl Pullam. He resided in New Braunfels, Texas, where he was close to his family for his last 16 years until he left us peacefully and early on football Sunday, Nov. 14, 2010.
Born into poverty during the Great Depression, he overcame extraordinary early adversity to make an imprint in the National Football League, where he was graced with a 40-year career as player and coach. After playing six-man football in high school, he attended the University of Arkansas on a football scholarship where he was a standout halfback for the Razorbacks. While in college, he also played semipro baseball. His senior year of college he was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the National Football League and was also offered a contract in Major League Baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals. Legend has it that Lew's true aspiration was to be a major league pitcher, but he lost confidence in his pitching ability when a bush league teen hit him out of the park repeatedly on a balmy summer night. And so lore has it that Mickey Mantle thwarted Lew's major league baseball aspirations, resulting in an alternative career as a running back for ten years in the NFL.
Lew spent his first three seasons in the National Football League as a running back for the Detroit Lions, where he was their leading rusher and won his first world championship. His pro football career was cut short when he was drafted into the peacetime Army and spent 18 months stationed in Germany. Upon his discharge from the service, he was traded to the Cleveland Browns, where he won two more world championships playing alongside his brother, Preston Carpenter. His playing career took a legendary turn when Vince Lombardi brought him to Green Bay in his first trade as the Packers new head coach. He played for Lombardi for four years and two more World Championships and retired as a player after the 1963 season.
His coaching career began in 1964 with the Minnesota Vikings and subsequently he held various positions as receivers coach, passing game coach and offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons, the Washington Redskins, coaching alongside Vince Lombardi, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Houston Oilers, the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles. He mentored numerous Pro Bowl players.
James Lofton had this to say about Lew, "Lew Carpenter was a father figure, friend and a mentor. He was the first person I met with the Packers when he came to work me out at Stanford my senior year. We developed a special bond and he was a driving force for excellence behind all the players he coached. His favorite phrase on the practice field was 'you got to love.' There is no mistake, Lew Carpenter loved the game and more so the men who played for him. I was honored to have played for your father. I will miss but never forget his spirit."
He is survived by his wife and soulmate of 62 years, Beverly Ann Holt Carpenter; and his four daughters, Cheryl Carpenter Doane, San Marcos, Texas; Cathy Carpenter, New Braunfels, Texas; Lisa Carpenter Prewitt, San Marcos, Texas; and Rebecca Carpenter, Los Angeles, Calif.; his sons-in-law, Alan Doane and Ron Prewitt; family friend, Alan Blomquist; eight grandchildren, Jennifer Doane, Chad Doane, Kit Carpenter, Rivelino Carpenter, Alisha Carpenter, Natalie Prewitt, Annika Carpenter; and two stepgrandchildren, Sam Blomquist and Will Blomquist.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his grandson, Travis Cory Doane.
His family aspires to embody the values that most defined him, a tremendous work ethic, a deeply gentle and private disposition, a passion for play and a ferocity that made it impossible for him to quit. He was lovingly surrounded by family at his death.
The family requests that donations be made to the Lewis Carpenter University of Arkansas Scholarship, through Chase Bank 111 West San Antonio Street, New Braunfels, TX 78130.
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2010, at 6 p.m. followed by a celebration of Lew's life at Pennington Funeral Home in San Marcos at 7 p.m.
Arrangements under the care and guidance of Pennington Funeral Home, San Marcos, 512-353-4311. Directions, due to construction and guest book online at www.penningtonfuneralhome.com .

John,
Preston will be cremated just as Lewis was. He died in Broken Arrow, OK --may have been Tulsa, as Broken Arrow is where they live and Clarehouse Hospice facility where he died and is in Broken Arrow, I think??
His Memorial Service is at 7 p.m. Thursday night, the 7th of July, at Moore Funeral home, Tulsa, OK.
He was a very good golfer, at one time he actually was good enough to go pro --he spent most of his days with his friends on the golf course. He also had a great connection to the University of Arkansas and never missed an alumni event. Many times he and Lewis met at his home in OK and drove together to Fayetteville for the Arkansas event. They talked on the phone several times a week.
I am planning to put our grave marker (Lewis and me) in one of the New Braunfels Cemeteries, with or without ashes. My death date will be missing until the right time.
I will let you know when our marker is in place. I don't know what Jeanne plans, if anything, as far as a grave marker.
Jeanne and our family are planning to go to U of Ark in the Fall and sprinkle some of both their ashes.
Lewis died at the home of our daughter, Lisa Carpenter Prewitt, as she has a large house (in Hays County, San Marcos, TX) where we could all be with him and care for him those last few weeks. His home address was in Comal County, New Braunfels, TX. We built our retirement home here in 1987.
I didn't see an obit on the Moore Funeral Home website.
Thanks for everything, Ann

John,
I have sad news today as Preston Carpenter left to join his brother today at noon. He has been at a Hospice Facility for several weeks in Tulsa, OK. His wife Jeanne was at his bedside and his son Bruce, and our daughter Cathy.
He was not able to take the death of his brother well, and we feel it may have hastened his passing.
I guess you can add this to the Carpenter brothers genealogy.

Football: Arkansas Great Carpenter Dies at 77
Posted on 30 June 2011
By Robbie Neiswanger Arkansas News Bureau • rneiswanger@arkansasnews.com
FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas great Preston Carpenter, who caught a touchdown pass on one of the most famous plays in Razorbacks’ football history, died Thursday. He was 77.
Carpenter lettered at Arkansas from 1953-55 and is remembered for teaming with Buddy Bob Benson for a 66-yard touchdown on “The Powder River Play.” Carpenter’s catch and run was the only score in the 6-0 win against No. 5 Ole Miss in 1954, a season in which coach Bowden Wyatt’s “25 Little Pigs” won the Southwest Conference title.
Benson, who was a long-time coach at Ouachita Baptist University after his Arkansas career, died in April.
Carpenter was a team captain and first-team SWC performer at halfback as a senior in 1955 before going on to enjoy a 12-year professional football career.
He was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 13th pick in the 1956 NFL Draft and played for the organization for four years. He also played for Pittsburgh, Washington and Minnesota before wrapping up his career with the Miami Dolphins in the AFL in 1967.
Carpenter was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UA Sports Hall of Honor in 1996. He also was selected to Arkansas’ All-Decade team (1950-59).
“He loved the University of Arkansas,” Harold Horton, executive director of the Razorback Foundation, said Thursday night. “He loved coming back to our reunions in the spring. He enjoyed being in the lettermen’s room prior to games. He was the life of the group. Wherever he was, he just added to where he was. People enjoyed being around him.”

CARPENTER, Preston, 77, passed away on Thursday, June 30, 2011 in Tulsa, OK. Born in Hayti, MO on January 24, 1934 to Verba & Edna Carpenter. Preston was a graduate of Muskogee High School in 1952 where he met his future bride of 58 years, “Jeanne” Eytchison.
