A friend of mine needed a ophthalmologist. I went to Dr. Carr 38 yrs ago and I wanted to recommend him to her. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.I only went to him once yet I still remembered his name and how fantastic he was! May the family of Dr. Carr find comfort in knowing that he is with Our Lord, Jesus Christ. He is home!

I was heartbroken when I heard the news. My family had been patients of Dr. Carr since his arrival to Las Vegas. He was a genuinely caring individual and made every appointment a joy.
Thank you for sharing him with us all these years.

Dearest Mary: We will miss Dr Carr as we all enjoyed his stately presence, kind words and helpful suggestions at the Annual Meeting of the National Medical Association. He truly carried himself with much self assurance but more than anything, he was the essence of dignity. We shall miss him dearly.

Dear Mary and family, I was so sorry to hear the sad news. Dr. Carr was so supportive of his staff and all of us who worked with him with IJCAHPO. I am glad that we got to talk in Chicago this fall, he always was so kind and funny and well-spoken. It was an honor to know him and to meet his true love and soul mate, Mary. I am happy that IJAHPO is starting a scholarship in his honor. He will be missed.

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.
With sympathy

Death leaves a heart ache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Dr. Carr was a man of rare character whose love for his family was always evident. He had a great sense of humor that always radiated from his beautiful smile. He will truly be missed. May it comfort his family to know that his rich legacy of service and love will continue to live on.
