Forty years is an eye blinks time. It was forty years ago when I first met O.B. Carr. Our moms were friends, we were 8 years old, and he had a bunch of turtles. An avocation we shared. Without knowing it, we led a Tom Sawyer-like childhood; exploring the nearby woods and adding to our turtle collection. A modern day Mark Twain could title a chapter, “The Ditches of Magnolia Park” with me and O.B. as the protagonists. I vividly remember the day we saw the full sized, real live, and too close to us, cotton mouth moccasin. We ran all the way home.
There was a trail thru the woods that led to the Bacon Park public golf course-probably created by O.B. I can see that trail, in my minds eye today. Maybe it’s still there. Forty years is an eye blink.

Deepest sympathies to the Carr family from the Stones. O.B. was the best childhood friend that another boy could have ever wanted. Between fishing, riding bicycles, catching turtles and going to the beach it seems like he was there every summer day. Those were great times and I hope Magnolia Park is as special for the children there now. May God rest his soul and comfort us all in this time of loss. Peace be with you, O.B.

Ann Marie,
My heart-felt condolences go out to you and your entire family. I am on a business trip as I am writing this and I won't return until tomorrow. I am sorry that I couldn't be with you during this time, however, please don't hesitate to call me if I can help you in any way. I really enjoyed getting to know OB while I was caring for him during his hospitalizations. Even if he wasn't my patient, he would make a point of speaking to me if he saw me in the hall. He always seemed like a good person, even if he had some regrets (as we all do). I am glad I had the opportunity to get to know him.
Love, Traci

I remember OB fondly and think of the long path that led to the connection of my family, at least the Schildknecht side of it, with his, at least the Bremer side of it. May OB now rest in peace, or better still, in laughter with all the generations that loved each other.

Dear Mary, Patti, Jimmy, Gloria, Ann Marie and Oliver,
I was terribly saddened to hear of OB's passing. Even as a small child, he always had a great sence of humor and mischeif about him, and will be sadly missed---but fondly remembered. Please know that each of you are in my thoughts and prayers, and if I can do anything for any of you, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Brian

My deepest sympathy to Oliver and his family. OB was a true southern gentleman. He was thoughtful and kind and always fun to be around. I know he has finally found peace now.

My memory of O.B. will always be a generous personality, quick to smile and laugh, with a desire for others to smile and laugh with him. Best wishes to the family and friends that knew him well, his kind spirit will be truly missed.

OB is the Brother of my Sisters Husband Jim Carr. My best memories of him is when I was young. He would stay the weekend with Debbie & Jim & played games with me & Jamie all night. He was a very sweet and kind person. My heart goes out to Jim his Brother. They were very close, especially these last few years. And to Oliver. I hope you get through this with the good memories that you have of him.

To all the Carrs & family,
I am so sorry about OB, I was just thinking about him last week. I know he had a hard time. It is with so much happiness that I think about all the friends we had in Magnolia Park in our little corner
of the world. Ya'll, the Ormonds, the Stults, the Linton Smiths and us, the other Smiths. The Nashs, the Dearings, Osbornes,Tedders. We
had wonderful times. No matter what Linton Smith says, I didn't teach either one of them to smoke!! I will never forget walking through the backyard to see what was up. If you weren't home I'd go to the Ormonds etc.
Remember the Pittmans? Claiborne Lewis, The Stones? Further on, the Lowes? OB was such a cute kid and I was always trying to get him to push me in that big swing in the back yard. I will always remember him with a smile.

Carr Family,
It has been many years since last seeing O.B. I have fond memories of a fun-loving young man that had a heart of gold. He was always fun to be around. May the Lord Bless and Comfort you all during this tough time in your life. God Rest His Soul.

Deepest sympathies to all family and friends who have traveled a long and saddened path with Oliver. My memories will always be of OB in years past, who touched the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him. I feel privileged to have been one of those people.

OB Carr was as cheerful and friendly a person as I have ever known. In 1974, he sat across the table from me in a makeshift study hall in the Benedictine cafeteria, and during the 5 or 10 minutes before the class began each day, OB and I shared laughter that seemed like it would never end. I regret that I never saw him after those days, but I remember him vividly and fondly.
