Rex Carr

When I returned to work for Mr. Carr in 2000 after being gone for 15 years, he was still a very intimidating force to me and sometimes I was afraid to ask him questions for fear of looking ridiculous. I remember one day I had to ask him a question about a case he had asked me to work on so I said to him, "Mr. Carr, may I ask you a stupid question?" to which he replied, "Well, let me ask you a question first. Do you already know the answer?" to which I replied, 'No", and he said, "Well, then,...

Rex Carr was a long-time friend. I valued his advice I originally baby-sat for his children when they were young (formerly Sommers). I was a friend of Edna and Eric, initially. He will be sadly missed by all. Prayers to the family.

BEST sailor ever!!!

We send our condolences to the Carr family. Mark's mother and Rex were cousins of the same age. We pray the spirit of Jesus will comfort you in your loss. We love you cousins and pray for unity in the love of the Lord as you reflect the on life of Rex. May God bless you with His peace.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family of Rex Carr - an attorney like no other. His contributions to the communities and persons he served are a part of his legacy of life. He will be sorely missed by those of us who had a chance to interact with him as a compassionate attorney and as a compassionate and caring person. I remember so well his work and presence with Local 1220's East St. Louis Federation of Teachers. I remember so well his work and presence with the NAACP and his generosity to...

I'm sad to hear about Rex's passing. He has been a great neighbor - so easy going and never a harsh word. Just a friendly wave as he loaded the dogs in his car and took off down the street. My condolences to the Carr family.

My in-laws from E St. Louis knew Rex years ago and sold him solid oak furniture. I had the pleasure of meeting Rex one day at his office back in 1995. He walked in and offered me an apple. He was so exhuberant! Made quite an impression on me.I am delighted to have been able to meet him. Today is a beautiful day to say until you meet again. God be with Rex and his family.

My condolences to the Carr family. Rex helped us with a horrible medical malpractice case in 1983. More than once I saw tears in Rex's eyes when he would see my 40 year old husband and saw what he could no longer do due to doctors' mistakes. He was a brillant lawyer and a wonderful human being. He will, I'm sure, continue fighting for us "little guys".

Sailing is something important I did with Rex. He welcomed me in with such openness, included me when I was a stranger, brought me in to his crew and introduced me to his son and to his friends. Now they are my friends and sailing is something important I will always do with Rex.
