So very sad. I hope he can have a wonderful time enjoying life now. I meet him at the Gympie RSL . He is very lovely .
Dear Carter,
Thanks for the great years of songs and entertainment. I have been your fan since 1971. I watched you on day time television and then listened to your radio programs religiously. I have been to your live shows on the Central Coast.
I will miss you and wish you all the best.
Looking forward to your book publication.
Best love
