Carl B. “Bud” Carpenter Jr. Corning, New York Went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, October 22 , 2024 at the age of 90. He was born July 1, 1934 in Plymouth, Pennsylvania to the late Carl Carpenter Sr and Gladys Allen Carpenter. He is predeceased by his brother Edward “Eddie” Carpenter and sister-in-law Linda Carpenter. He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Phyllis Curran Carpenter; children Michael DeMark Jr. of Horseheads, New York, Joy (Rick) Wieder of Erin, New York, Susan Carpenter of Coopers Plains, New York and Bruce Carpenter of Rapid City, South Dakota; sister Carol Hausknecht of Sunbury, Pennsylvania; special friend Mike Sheehan as well as several grandchildren, great grandchildren, extended family members and friends. Bud served his country honorably in the United States Marine Corp. during the Korean War and was very proud of his service. He retired from Dresser-Rand as a supervisor after many years and was a barber at Dick’s Barbershop in Painted Post, NY during his retirement. He was an active member of the Corning American Legion for 68 years, the Benevolent Order of the Elks of Horseheads for 29 years as well as a member of the Corning Lions Club. He loved fishing in his spare time, and was an avid fan of the Buffalo Bills and the New York Yankees. He loved spending time with his family, especially his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at the Chemung County Nursing Facility for their excellent and compassionate care of Bud. The family welcomes your condolences at this time, but it was Bud’s wishes that services will be held privately with Military Honors at a later date. Those wishing to remember Bud, please consider donations to the Chemung County Humane Society & SPCA or the American Red Cross in his memory.
