John William Carr

How is it that I have only just found this? Thank you Tena, and all the other who have left the wonderful messages. I only know a few if you. But I have to say my father chose friends quite wisely. Feel free to contact me via email @[email protected] or..naturally... facebook. Thank you all for the kind words about my father.

JW always put others first, he had a heart of gold. He was one of the nicest, most caring people I have ever known. He gave 110% every day, whether work or play. He would light up any room with his JW way . The truth is he was a true friend to me and my family and one of the greatest men I have ever known. He made an impact on many. He will be missed but never forgotten.

One thing was for sure when JW was in the room...you were going to be laughing. JW always brought a smile to those around. It was obvious how much he cared for and loved his family. When our son Samuel was sick in Iowa, JW took a very active role in trying to help figure out what was wrong, he cared for people that much. JW not only made our professional lives fun, but he carried that over to our personal lives. JW will be missed; he is no doubt trying to figure out how to play jokes on us from Heaven.

We were shocked to hear the news about JW. He was the most stubborn, opinionated, ornery , poilitically incorrect man we ever met but that's what made it so much fun to be around him. Oh how he loved to have fun and his laugh was so contagious. The world is a much sadder place without him in it. Edna will live in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are always with you.

JW was many things to many people… husband, father, grandfather, friend, teacher, leader, kind, generous, ornery, caring… the list is endless. But what will always stand out in our memories… he loved and was loved in each of these roles and will live in our hearts for all time.

JW was simply a wonderful person in so many aspects of life and work. He made us laugh, think and appreciate just being together. Nothing will ever fill the void left by this great man. How lucky we are to have known him, Teresa, Jess and Nicolas. We miss him beyond measure.

JW (Brother Carr) was a good friend who changed many lives in a positive way. JW taught me the importance of family and friends. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. Teresa, you and your family are in my family's thoughts and prayers.

We only knew JW for a short time, but we are very glad that we got to meet him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Teresa, Jessica & Cleveland,

I only new JW for a year, but the time I shared with him was time I am blessed to have had. I truly enjoyed the time we spent together and I am thankful for what he was able to teach me and share with me. I hope you know how much we will all miss him. He was a dedicated husband, father, employee, mentor and friend. We are all better off for having known him.
The Carr family is in my prayers.

Teresa,
It was a blessing to work with JW...he taught both of us how work can also be fun. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. Please take care and you and your family are in our thoughts & prayers.

Teresa, you and your family continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. JW was a true friend and a wonderful person. I'm already missing our 5 AM conversations!

JW was a funny guy-he always made me laugh and treated me with great respect. He truly will be missed.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our old buddy JW. We consider ourselves lucky to have been his friend and associate. The world is a better place thanks to this wonderful man. He will be missed!

I am honored that a great life was briefly shared with me. JW was not only a good friend, but a sound support when times were bad. He will always be with us and what a wonderful gift that is.

Teresa,

Our prayers are with you and your family. JW was a good friend and confidant. He is greatly missed.

JW was a great person to work with. He'd do anything in his power to help a person in need. My condolences got out to the family of JW. He will be truley missed.

JW was a good man that worked hard to train and mentor the youth of Hensel Phelps. Though I will always remember him for the way he made my mother laugh at a company Christmas party by the silly Santa hat he wore. This was a difficult time for my mother as she had been in Orlando taking care of my terminally ill grandmother, and he was able to make her smile.

I was always grateful for that.

God definitely blessed all who knew or even met JW, as his spirit had a natural way of making you smile...I am sure that Heaven is a brighter place with his presence!

Teresa,
Our thoughts continue to go out to you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with family and friends through this difficult time. May God's loving arms embrace each of you and give you comfort.

Dear Teresa,

Our hearts go out to you and the kids. JW was a wonderful husband, father and friend who touched so many lives. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

All our love,
Tena, Brian, Michael & Bruce
