See Condolences

Lois Carr was a very classy lady and was greatly respected by the officers, solders and civilians who were assigned to COL John Carr's command in Berlin, Germany in the mid-70s. COL and Mrs. Carr's leadership and friendship to all in the command were inspirational and resulted in a superior unit that won many awards in the military and intelligence communities. Lois was a key part of her husband's command, and she will be missed. Our deepest sympathy on her passing to John, Donna and Susan and their families.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
