Rob Carter is pictured in a photo display of him with family and friends on view outside of the overfilled sanctuary of Milton Seventh-day Adventist Church during his Life Celebration Service. Standing room only was utilized along the outside perimeters and entry corridor.

MILTON-FREEWATER — Rob Carter would have been mortified, family members believe.

His funeral on Friday at Milton Adventist Church enjoyed a massive attendance that may have kept more than a few wondering who was left to run the town.

Attendees wore suits, hunting jackets, high and shiny heels, steel-toed boots, baseball caps and elegant coifs. Farmers, infants, veterans, firefighters, business people and family groups poured into the building from both sides, creating a line that inched along for nearly an hour.

That sure was an interesting piece. The man seems to have been quite a popular person in the community.
