Dr Carr was that rare physician who looked you in the eye, remembered details of your family life, and made you feel more like a friend than a patient. We last saw him on our annual eye exam in March 2017. It broke my heart to see him so sick, and the very next day he retired. Warmest condolences to his lovely family. Stephen & Paula Francis

I am heartbroken to see this in the paper today. Dr. Carr has been my eye doctor since I was a teenager and he took care of my parents and my grandparents.

You couldn't find a finer gentleman and doctor. I truly loved seeing him for my routine eye exam once a year during my life.

I know that he is at peace and with God. I pray that wonderful memories of him give peace to his family and friends.
