Our deepest sympathy to all the Carr family members. Hearing of Tom's death was such a shock. To Jason and Mike, it's been a long time but we remember you boys living on the corner and growing up with our son Bill and your dad being around outside sometimes with his guitar. To our neighbors Donna & Jim and Jerry & Barb, our thoughts and prayers are with you too. So sorry for your loss. May Tom Rest in Peace.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Tom's family. I met Tom years ago, when he was playing with Bill Lisa, and would go with my sister Kimmi to hear them play. He was a fun guy, that always put on a great show. He will be missed by many.
