Edward H. Carriker, 82, a retired dentist, vice president of BlueCross BlueShield of Texas, local civic leader and decorated veteran of two wars, passed away Friday, April 4, 2008, from complications he suffered from a fall while picking up pine needles from his beloved pine trees.
Funeral: 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Moore Funeral Home Chapel.
Memorials: Donations in Dr. Carriker's honor may be made to the charity of donor's choice.
As chairman of the Fluoridation Committee of the Fort Worth Dental Society in 1964 and 1965, Dr. Carriker successfully led the effort to have fluoride added to Fort Worth's water supply to help prevent tooth decay.
Edward Henry Carriker was born June 7, 1925, to Lofton and Elva Baker Carriker in the piney woods of Center. In 1943 at the age of 17 he volunteered for the Marines to fight in World War II and entered the Navy's V-12 college program, graduating as a second lieutenant in July 1945.
His unit was preparing for a costly and bloody invasion of Japan when the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war.
After losing a tooth in a boxing match, Ed decided to become a dentist and received his D.D.S. from the University of Texas School of Dentistry in 1950 and joined the Army Dental Corps.
He served during the Korean War as a first lieutenant and then captain, assistant medical surgeon in the first MASH unit assigned to General Douglas MacArthur's vaunted X Corps.
He participated in the invasion of Inchon, the subsequent invasion of Wonsan, the march to the Yalu River and the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, which saw some of the most devastating combat of the war.
After completing his military service, Dr. Carriker moved to Fort Worth in 1953 to establish a successful dental practice. He was active in local, state and national dental associations, serving on the board of the Fort Worth District Dental Society for seven years, including a term as president of the society. He was a Fort Worth delegate several times to the Texas and American Dental Association and was chairman of the state meeting in 1975.
He was made a fellow in the American College of Dentists in 1968, a fellow in the International College of Dentists in 1969, and a fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry in 1970.
Dr. Carriker was active in community service for a quarter century in the Fort Worth area, including donating dental services to the Lena Pope Home and the Indigent Dental Clinic.
He was a past president of the Northwest Fort Worth Kiwanis Club, former member of Key Clubs International, a former director of Security State Bank, former member of Ridglea Country Club and former deacon of Ridglea Presbyterian Church.
In 1974 he left private practice to become vice president of dental programs for BlueCross BlueShield of Texas in Dallas.
For the next 15 years Dr. Carriker developed and managed the company's dental health insurance program for the state of Texas.
Upon his retirement he and his wife, Darlene, relocated to Arlington, where he remained until his death.
Although retired he continued to be a highly-respected member of his profession. He received the 50-Year Award from the Texas Dental Association in 2001 and the Fort Worth Dental Society's Veteran's Honor Award in 2003.
Ed excelled at sports in high school and college, where he ran track and was a lifelong sports enthusiast.
For many years after his retirement, he participated as a swimmer in the Senior Olympics, winning scores of medals. He continued to swim almost every day until his most recent illness.
Survivors: Wife, Darlene Power Carriker of Arlington; daughters, Dee Gulledge and Kay Carriker and her husband, Bryan Kelley of Fort Worth; stepchildren, Gary Wright of Saginaw, Ron Wright of Arlington and Becky Wright of Arlington.
