Philip Carter Obituary
Philip H. “Philly” Carter, 71, of Lebanon, passed away peacefully in the home he built, on Wednesday, February 2, 2022 surrounded by loved ones.  He was born on May 28, 1950 in Hartford, CT to the late Bertha and Harry Carter of Columbia, CT (formerly of Manchester CT).



He is survived by Karen, his loving and devoted wife of 41 years, daughter Erin Postemski and her husband Jason and two grand-daughters Peyton and Hailee Postemski of Columbia, CT. Besides his immediate family, Phil is also survived by his loving sister Martha Carter and her spouse Mary Roickle of Columbia, CT, niece Sarah Kern and husband Andy Black and their son Calvin of Cranston, RI, and mother-in-law Marianne Adams of Willimantic, CT. He is survived by his many siblings through marriage including Kenny Adams, Jacqueline Libano, Janice Krasnow, Paula Adams and Craig Adams, all who had the privilege of calling him brother. In addition, Phil was viewed as a brother to his extended family members and cousins Kathy Walker, Kristen Sheehan and Jim Horvath all formerly of Manchester, CT.



Phil enjoyed vacationing at the Rhode Island shoreline, deep sea fishing and surf casting and enjoying libations. He was an avid bird lover, phenomenal cook and made the best crème brulee ever. He enjoyed woodworking as a hobby and tinkering around the house. Phil loved the outdoors, especially getting some Vitamin D. He loved his family deeply and was happiest when they were altogether.  Always quick to smile and lend a hand, Phil’s kindness to everyone will never be forgotten.



A Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, February 8, 2022 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm at Potter Funeral Home, 456 Jackson St., Willimantic, followed by calling hours from 3:00pm- 5:00pm. The family would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the love and support they have received for the past few years.



“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”
