A Big Thank You to all of you for acknowledging my Dad's passing. I didn't realize how much I'd miss him till he was gone. We used to butt heads a lot, but always got along. I don't miss his his bad mouth, but he was a very sensitive person. Have put in one of my favorite photos. I surprised him a year or so ago. Thanks again to everyone

Bertha, Bobby, Cynthia and Pam,
So sorry to here of Mr. Carr's passing. He was always the quiet "Dad" on the hill, always puttering and tinking with things or working in the garden. He never cared how many of us were always invading his space.
My sympathies to all of you. Its not easy loosing a loved one.
Regards,
Carole (Deeney) Redden

Bertha, Bob, Cynthia and Pam I am very sorry for your loss.
I will always rember "Bill" as my neighbor and friend. When we moved beside you so many years ago, Bill allowed that nudge of a kid to ask a million questions and intrude in his personal space time and time again. He was a great teacher and skillful home improver, of which I cannot thank him enough. Somehow when I do my own home projects, I can sense Bill looking over my shoulder and showing me the way to get through a project. Bill you were a great neighbor and a very patient man with me for so many years. Love Larry Tosi

Mr. Carr,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
