You will never know how much your kindness to me during those years helped a shy girl feel at home at HHS since I moved from Forestdale my freshman year. I have so enjoyed keeping up with you, your children and grandchildren through Sandi who has worked at our office for many years until the end of this May. You have a beautiful family and you are a wonderful husband, father and person who has touched more lives that you will every know. Coach C,

You were truly a wonderful teacher at HHS; I remember you well and loved baby sitting for your boys. You will never know how much your kindness to me during those years helped a shy girl feel at home at HHS since I moved from Forestdale my freshman year. I have so enjoyed keeping up with you, your children and grandchildren through Sandi who has worked at our office for many years until the end of this May. You have a beautiful family and you are a wonderful husband, father and person who has touched more lives that you will every know.

I remember so well when my son, Ted, was at HHS and it was announced that you were diagnosed with ALS. I remember you coming across the stage in a scooter at an assembly. I couldn't imagine being so young and being faced with such a disabling disease. When my daughter was 21, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Like you, she has an incredible will and faith in God. She is now using a scooter to ambulate. She finished undergraduate and graduate school at the University of Alabama and is currently engaged to a wonderful man. Sammy and I have kept up with you through the years. May God bless you and your wonderful family. Sue and Sammy Graphos What an incredible journey. I remember so well when my son, Ted, was at HHS and it was announced that you were diagnosed with ALS.

I graduated Talladega High in 1980. I knew that you were sick in 1986....Coach Clark mentioned it to me. I never knew exactly what was wrong, until I read this article. I am so humbled by you...just as I was as your student! Over the last 30 years, my husband and I have talked about how we met in your 9th grade class and what a great teacher you were! I hope you know that you are truly loved by all who have been touched by you! Angel Coach Carpenter, you are an inspiration to me. I graduated Talladega High in 1980.
