Carson Carr

We, many of your former students, and all those whose life you positively impacted mourn your passing but celebrate your living!

I will never forget Dr. Carr. He was like a second father to me at times and an amazing mentor who took an interest in my career and in the lives of my family! It's been 9 years since he went to be with God but not a day goes by that I don't remember him! May you be at peace Dr. Carr and may you know that you mattered in my life and in the lives of soo many! Maritza

Thank you, Dr. Carr´s family. Dr. Carr was one of the best mentors in the world and a great leader, accepting people without regards to genetics, skin color, race, national origin, gender, creed, etc. and loved us all the same.

Dr. Carr made sure I received: food, remedial courses (even though I graduated in the top ten percentile of my NYC public high school class, I was not on same level as students...

To Dr. Carr's Family, Dr. Carson Carr, jr. was like a father to me. He was also my boss of many years and a mentor.

THANK YOU for the amazing lessons in Life and African Studies. Our talks and conversations will last a lifetime. Rest in peace my elder.

It's hard to believe that 5 years have passed since God took Dr. Carr home to be with Him. Not one day goes by that I don't enter the EOP Complex at the University at Albany where Dr. Carr gave 23 dedicated years of his life to this program and the students and staff that we proudly serve, that I don't look at his portrait that hangs at the entry way and I don't a) ask him to provide me with the strength to make a difference in the lives that I will interact with on any given day, and b) that...

Mr. Carr was truly a wonderful and great man and teacher at EOHS! I will never forget him.
