Westfield, IN

Richard G. Carter, 88, of Westfield, Indiana, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2025. He was born on March 29, 1936, in Sharpsville, Indiana.

Richard was a proud graduate of Purdue University, earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1958. In 1959, he married the love of his life, Linda Ann (Burton) Carter. He was married to Linda for 66 wonderful years and together they built a life filled with love, family, and lasting memories.

He dedicated his career to Delco Electronics in Kokomo, where he made a lasting impact before retiring. Even in retirement, his expertise remained in high demand, leading him to consulting roles at Wabash Technologies and Kevin Kennedy & Associates.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Virgil and Waneta Carter, his brother and sister-in-law, William (Bill) and Carolyn Carter and many other family members that he loved and cherished.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Linda Carter; their children, Jeff Carter (Irene), Ann Inman, and Steve Carter; their grandchildren, Carissa Loveall, Justin Carter (Jessica), Peter Inman (Heather), Elizabeth Inman (Logan), Philip Inman (Ally), and Alec Carter; and his great-grandchildren, Sevy Carter, Izzy O’Brien, Ellie Carter, and Isla Carter, and many much-loved nieces and nephews.

Richard will be remembered for his love and dedication to God and his family and friends, his sharp and inquisitive mind, and his unwavering kindness. His legacy of love, faith, and hard work will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
