Such sad news, great man and business.

 

Sad news indeed, I have known Dennis for more than 40 years, he has been a innovator in his industry, rest in peace. HRP

 

Sad news. Condolences to the family. Couple a parts from his company live on my 34.

 

Just like many others I have Carpenter parts on my cars, his input into the business will be missed but I have no doubt the quality will continue.
RIP Mr. Carpenter.

 

Well ... some doubt anyway. It isn't exactly unusual for a founder to p*** away and the company goes right down the tubes.

First my condolences to his family, friends and the many others he helped along the way. I too have some of his parts on my vehicles and like so many of you appreciate the quality of them as a result of his vision and hard work.
Let’s hope the team there can keep it rolling and May he Rest In Peace.
