Captain Carter B. Conlin USN (Ret.)

Houston, Texas

May 11, 1924 – Aug 19, 2018

Naval Order of the United States Companions and Friends,

I am very sorry to notify you that CAPT Carter B. Conlin, USN ‘Crossed the Bar’ 19 August 2018.  Carter served as the Commander General from 2005-2007 and was extremely dedicated to our entire organization but most notably, the Texas Commandery.  Carter was a key figure in establishing and administering the Nimitz Leadership Award and innumerable other initiatives in Texas.  I know that I will miss his sage advice and wise counsel; he was a true gentleman of the finest order. 

Please keep Carter and Nancy in your thoughts and prayers.

Very respectfully,

CAPT Paul Crissy, USCG (Ret)
Commander General
Naval Order of the United States
