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

One of the best Carter. Really enjoyed listening to you. A true gentleman.
Thank you.
Ah Carter, I am so happy no one will ever have to listen to you reading Wikipedia articles again on the radio! You think you’re educated though you are a dimwit, it’s great you’re gone!
Disgraceful comment! You should be ashamed of yourself. A despicable human being that’s you!
A long time ago Carter Edwards was asked to attend Camp Breakaway on the Central Coast NSW to perform for the clients in this disability respite centre. He was extremely nervous his words but after an awesome moment with one particular client he was hooked. The client didn’t appear to be enjoying his show. Little did he know in that moment. He asked the nursing staff how he could reach her. The staff said let her hold one of your sound boxes (speaker). After Carter sang his next song he dedicated it to this young client who was profoundly deaf from the age of 11. The girl said “thankyou Carter”. This young lady was a huge fan of Carter already and was able to know the song by the vibrations from the speaker. Carter was hooked on Camp Breakaway from then on and attended regularly waiving his fee. He and that young client became mates and Carter would take her for rides on his motorbike. Happy retirement. You are a star
Love you forever my dear friend and mentor. Praying you are currently in the embrace of your Dad who you spoke of constantly and missed so much. Thank you for being my mate and all the memories!
Thanks Carter for the memories and the great country music that you played so often, and appearing with you on several club shows.
