  Notes	He was a staff sergeant in the US Army during WWII. In the 1950 census, he was single and living at home with his parents in Portland. He was a sales manager in his parents’ company, a manufacturer of automobile luggage carriers. In the 1956 Portland city directory, he was Russell E Carter, an engineer with Oregon Saw Chain. His wife was Margaret. Lt. Col. Russell E Carter died Jan. 23, 2020 with his hand held by his wife of 70 years. A tender hearted, but decorated WWII veteran of the 71st infantry, he liberated German concentration camp survivors and for 30 years was a crack sharpshooter for the Army Reserves rifle team. He was born in Detroit. He moved to Portland and attended Duniway Elementary, Washington HS and graduated as an engineer from Oregon State. In his early years he worked for Omark Industries and the family business of Carter Manufacturing before starting his own successful business of Carter Machine and Tool in 1973. Russ loved collecting antique cars and driving his beloved granddaughters in parades in his apple green 1930 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster. He treasured golf at Oregon Golf Club, the CRRG#10 Early Ford V-8 Club, skiing and tinkering, but his true love was his family. Hugs were fierce and tears flowed easily. He will be remembered for living his life with honor. Russ is survived by his wife, Margaret Uhlar; son, Ron Carter (Pam); daughter, Wanda Osgood (George); six grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. His greatest sorrow was losing his daughter, Marilyn Spear and her husband, Tony.
