William CARR Obituary

"Bill" was born in Chicago, Illinois, to James and Genevieve Carr. He was a longtime resident of the Spokane Valley area. Bill excelled at many careers throughout his lifetime. He began as a diesel mechanic during which he became a lifetime member of Machinist Local 86. Most recently he was proud to work at Event Rents with Brad and associates, where he was treated with extraordinary dignity and respect. We will dearly miss his sense of humor and love of family, cooking, golf, and Husky football.

Bill is survived by his wife, Anne Vigesaa-Carr; stepchildren, Leanne (Marty) Ambrose, Leslie (Mark) Lloyd, Kurt (Mandee) Vigesaa, Nicole (Mike) Orrino; 10 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Mary Ann Carr (Dale Cox); and many nieces and nephews. Bill was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Patrick and Michael; and his sister, Sr. Kathleeen Carr, BVM. A Celebration of Life will be held later this summer.

I'm sorry to learn of Bill's passing. He was a great guy. We worked at Tomlinson together and he taught me about condo sales. A man with much integrity, very kind and upbeat.

Bill and I were cousins and we had a very close friendship. We lived just a few blocks from each other. We attended grade school and high school together. I loved his humor and his positive outlook on life. He was a gift to all and a very kind person. Judy Downing

Bill was such a happy and special part of my work days at Event Rents. He always had the biggest smile on his face and could brighten anyones day no matter what. His picture is still up in the Event Rents break room and whenever I see his smile I can hear his happy laugh. I will never forget Bill, and no one at Event Rents will forget him either. We will always love you.

Bill was a special person and was loved by all at Event Rents. He had a smile on his face and kind words for everyone regardless of how he might have been feeling that day. He will truly be missed and always remembered. Prayers and love to his lovely bride Ann.
