We will miss you riding your bike around the neighborhood. I loved how you acknowledge every child in the neighborhood and gave them tips on catching a football or shooting a basketball. You were known as “Coach” by the kids and me. You coached them to not to give up. You were a wonderful inspiration to us all.

James Wurts says
I grew up in Kayford and had the privilege of knowing the unforgetable Carr family and Jimmy was outstanding. We all watched him and for him while playing and on the sideline coaching. Everyone was proud to have known him and his postive attitude toward his goals.
A more friendly person you will never meet. I will never forget him.
