George was a beloved Baby Boomer who will be missed beyond compare. He was once married to Charlotte Elaine Thomas and had one son, Jason, and countless devoted boomer ladies adorers. George, known as BucknChute, was tragically shot and killed by an unknown assailant as he was leaving the Shelby Park golf Course where he worked. Buck was a US Army veteran.
The superintendent for the Metro Parks Department described Carpenter as hardworking, generous and kind. Superintendent Wayne Evans said he'd known Carpenter for more than 20 years because he was a regular of the course before he was employed there.
"He was an easy going guy, got along with everybody, everybody loved him - just one of those guys that makes you feel better when you're around him - always positive," said Evans. "All of us have bad days, but I haven't seen him have one - never seen him get angry at anybody. That's what makes this so tragic. I can't imagine any circumstance that would cause somebody to do this."
