Robert Carr
2003-07-25
Our dad, Robert (Tom) Carr, died peacefully on July 11, 2003, at Central Maine Veteran's Memorial Cemetery in Augusta, Maine to Harland and Christine (MacDonald) Whitney and lived in Gray for most of his life. He graduated from Pennell Institute (High School) in Gray in 1952. He was married to Adeline Clark, of York Massachusetts and in Lewiston and Portland, Maine Bonding and Casualty.
Following their retirement Warren and Adeline spent winters in Fort Myers, Maine, (and many other states), Canada and Scotland. Warren was very active in the affairs of their retirement community and served a term as chairmen of the board of directors of the homeowners association.
He was a lifelong member of the First Congregational Church of Gray, where he served as a Trustee, and was a member of Masonic Lodge # 12, of New Gloucester. He was active in the leadership of Boy Scout Troop 86, and served the Town of Gray at various times as a member of its Town Council, Planning Board and Building Committee. While a member of the Planning Board, he was a primary author of the Town's first mobile home ordinance, in which he was able to strike a fair balance between the rights of mobile home owners and those of surrounding property owners. He also served as a member of the committee for the planning and construction of the Gray town office and was a charter member of the Gray senior housing project committee.
Warren was an excellent cook (he would say "chef") who loved to experiment with new recipes and particularly enjoyed sharing his culinary creations with family and friends. He enjoyed deer hunting (walking in the woods), bicycling, gardening, antique autos and reading and writing poetry.
He was particularly known for his honesty and integrity (he was the subject of a Portland Press Herald article in the early 1970s chronicling the return of $3,000 in cash that he had discovered in an envelope on the ground outside a local bank and turned in to its rightful owner).
He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, nephew and friend, and was very proud of all of his children and grandchildren. He was predeceased by his younger brother, Ralph, of Fitchburg, New Jersey; Russell (and his companion James Roberts) of Ogunquit, Maine; his sister Anne Herrick (and her husband Martin), of Pownal, Massachusetts; four very special grandchildren, Daniel, Timothy and Laura Whitney of Pine Brook, Maine 04039.
