Roy Carr Obituary

Roy Haynes Carr
April 26, 1938 - April 17, 2023
Roy Haynes Carr, 84, of San Francisco passed away on April 17th, 2023, from Natural Causes. He was predeceased by his brother David Timothy Carr, and sister Buena Carr, and he left behind Brother Terri Carr and wife Paulette, Sisters Ann C Toowey, Shirly C Towne, and Merry Cook. He also leaves behind an extended chosen family in San Francisco.
Roy was married to James E Meko, they shared a wonderful 30+-year union. They created and ran a successful printing and design company in the neighborhood, The Best Impression, they adored in the SOMA area. As a local print shop, they were able to run flyers for the Ambush and the Arena without it catching the public eye. Their support of the leather community can be seen on Ringold Ally as a memorial of Jim's boot print.
Both men have been and will continue to be pillars in the SOMA leather community.
Roy enjoyed Budweiser and San Francisco afternoons. You would often find him holding court at one of the many establishments that made up the leather scene.
A service will be held on April 30th at 3pm. Location will be the PowerHouse, 1347 Folsom st.

What I liked best about Roy was hearing him talk about growing up in the south. Roy was someone easy to chat up at any hour. Nice guy. I always looked for Roy when diving-into the best leather bar "dive" in San Francisco. Peace Out, Roy. Peace Out brother man.

20+ years ago, a wise man once told me: "the band played on & the barber kept on shaving" ...
Well last night, as I sat beside him, at the age of 84, the wise man died.
And the band played on & the barber kept on shaving.
Rest in peace my great friend, Roy H Carr. #RIP #ommanipadmehum
