CARPENTER, JOHN GEORGE, 91, of Morristown, died Monday, May 22, 2006, at

soon began working, earning 25 cents an hour. He joined the Navy
Construction Battalion, otherwise known as the Seabees, during World War
II and was a proud member of the 24th Navy Construction Battalion who
attended reunions year after year. He was a retired TVA steamfitter with
many years of service; however, his passion was his artwork. For many
years in the evenings and on the weekends, he could be found on his back
porch, paints in hand. His artwork brought him a fair amount of local
notoriety. In addition to drawing satirical cartoons for Paul Page,
former publisher of the Roane County News, he was commissioned by many
people in the community to paint portraits and scenes. His pictures hung
in area restaurants, attracting the attention of many tourists, and
several of his paintings won awards in local and regional juried
showings. He donated one of his paintings, The Good Samaritan, to his
Sunday school class at Trenton Street Baptist Church, Harriman, where he
was a longtime member. For several years he taught an art class for
Harriman City Schools' Community Education program. He was involved in
woodworking, building several grandfather and mantle clocks as well as
the cradles for his grandchildren. Another of his interests was the ham
radio. After learning Morse code and passing the licensing test, he
spent many hours talking to people around the world and collected
several hundred cards from those with whom he shared a long-distance
friendship.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 61 years, Ida Belle Carpenter, in 2003. Survivors include son and daughter-in-law, David and Jamie Carpenter of Morristown; his daughter, Jacquie Kramer of Elburn, Ill.; and grandchildren, Tara Carpenter of Las Vegas, Jeremy Carpenter of Chattanooga and Laura Kramer of Chicago.
