DURHAM - John Webster Carlile died Sept. 8, 2005, in Durham, where he had lived for the past eight years. A warm, loving, caring, funny, optimistic, strong and gentle man, he lived 89 years enriched by family and friends and gracing their lives with his love. Born April 21, 1916, in Columbus, Ohio, to William Arthur and Ruth Huntington Carlile, the second of three sons, he graduated from Columbus Academy, where he served as president of the student body. He graduated from Princeton University in 1938 and served in World War II as a 1st Lieutenant with the quartermaster corps in Washington, D.C. In 1940, he married his beloved Jane Cecelia Wood, also of Columbus, and raised a family of four children who considered themselves lucky to have such great parents. The family lived in Dayton, Ohio, Mount Vernon, Ohio, West Hartford, Conn., and Winnetka, Ill. and spent summers at their wonderful cottage on Walloon Lake, Mich. In his later years he and Jane lived in Fort Wayne, Ind., and Winston-Salem. A successful businessman and entrepreneur, he retired to North Carolina. His wife of 57 years predeceased him in 1997, as did son John Jr. in 1998 and daughter Celia Carlile Monton of Cincinnati in May 2005.
