George Robert Carr ’44

Body

George, known to us also as "Bob" during our campus years, died July 2, 2007, in Daytona Beach, Fla. He was 87.

Born in Syracuse, N.Y., he prepped at Pawling Boys School. At Princeton he was active in football, hockey, and baseball and majored in biology before leaving in the fall of 1942 for a commission with the Army's coast artillery. He served in the Panama Canal Zone and the European theater. He received a Princeton associate of arts certificate. George worked for New Jersey Transit (bus) for 30 years, and was a former general manager. While residing in Caldwell Township, N.J., he served on a regional school board and was a member of the First Presbyterian Church. He continued to enjoy hockey and golf.

Survivors include his three daughters, Wendy Fritze, Tracy Skinner, and Constance Carr, and five grandchildren. Our sincere condolences go to them all.
