From this union they were blessed with one daughter Chasitty marie Carr. Tim was a simple man. He created a memorable connection with everyone he came in contact with and was always a good story teller. Oh, how we loved his stories. Tim would never leave you without a good gut busting laugh. Not to mention his expertise in playing a good-ole game of spades. Tim's nieces and nephews would call him to make sure the rules and regulations were being followed precisely. After relocating to Washington he would call and send daily morning text messages to his daughter Chasitty and sometimes corny jokes to Chloe. Tim loved watching the 24hr Western channel, taking morning walks and enjoyed cooking quick, but good meals, "mostly involving chicken." Last, but not least, his love for his granddaughter Chloe's passion for tennis. He was so proud to see her play in August and had hoped to see her play in the US Open someday.
