Jim’s first passion was his family; he loved being involved in his childrens' lives and the lives of his grandchildren, rarely missing any of their events. In his free time, he loved fishing, especially his annual Canadian fishing trips. Jim’s other pastimes included gardening, deer hunting, golfing, card club and following the Iowa Hawkeyes.

Hugeback-Johnson Funeral Home and Cremation Services created a video in memory of Dr. James Charles Carr
MaryKay and family, Tom and I are so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We just found out yesterday, July 26, and can hardly believe it. We had so much fun with the two of you in Italy, in 2006, and have been emailing and sending jokes to you ever since. I just sent an email about 2 or 3 weeks ago reminding you to stop by on your way to Detroit Lakes and never got an answer. I knew something was going on, but what? My son and I did a search on google and found out about Jim. I want you to know that all our love and blessings are sent to you and we will keep our cherished memories of our Italy trip forever. Love, Tom and Dolly from Minnesota

Many years ago I asked Jim when middle age started and he wittingly responded, ‘5 years older than me.’ Jim was a peoples’ Doctor with the ability to make you feel better by just visiting. His optimism and wit was inspiring. His compassion for people was obvious. We just returned from Colorado and were deeply saddened by the news. New Hampton lost a real gem and we will all miss him. Dan & Kathy Feuling

Mary Kay and family, I was saddened to hear of Dr. Carr’s death. He was a special man. I have many fond memories of growing up as neighbors.

He will also be remembered for his smile and great sense of humor. Cherish all your memories.

I was very saddened by the news of Jim’s death. For some unknown reason he has been in my mind lately. He was a good friend during our high school days and I remember the parties we shared in at his parent’s farm during our college days. We connected a few times within the last couple years following our 55th high school reunion in 2011. I offer my deepest sympathy to Mary Kay who was also a classmate and all of their family. Peace to all. Sr. Kay Forkenbrock

Mary Kay and family. I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Carr’s passing. I will always be grateful to him for being the medical director while I had the privilege of serving the resident of Chickasaw County for several years. I learned so much from him and I shall always remember how he would share his medical knowledge with all of us. Even thought I no longer work as a paramedic I still work in the medical field after all these years and his knowledge is with me each and every day. God has a special place ready for you.

Dr Carr and the Carr family have a special place in our family. We still remember how he used a black marker to draw on our Anna’s eye lid before he stitched her. Dr Carr told her he was connecting the dots and at 6 yrs old that helped her through the ordeal. Our prayers to the Carr family. Bruce and Sharon Fahnle

New Hampton has lost another icon. Jim was a very special man. He had that twinkle in his eye and the Cheshire smile to go with it along with it. Always a pleasure to visit with him. We trusted him as our family doctor and friend for many years. Our deepest sympathies go out to Mary Kay and all of Jim’s family. ~ Kathy and George Bouska
My prayers to the Family, will miss him at the ball games, he was a lot of fun .and a great guy. Mark and Vickie Mulford
Jim was indeed a great wrestler. While in the Nu Sig house in Iowa City, he was challenged to an informal match by a classmate, much larger than Jim himself. Jim had his ‘opponent’ on his back in the blink of an eye. He, of course, was much more than that. A great doctor and friend over the many years since leaving Iowa City after graduation in 1965. The annual get togethers of our Nu Sig classmates were always highlights of the year. What a privilege to have been able to continue that tradition for 50 wonderful years..Dr. Don Kahle
He was my Dr when I was a young boy. He will be missed
Our sincere sympathy to the family of Doc Carr. He was a great doctor and was there for the delivery for two of our three sons. He always followed their sports career and other school activities and commented whenever he saw them about the enjoyment he experienced watching them. Doc was that way with everyone he knew. He will definitely be missed not only by his family, but the entire community. Rest in peace! Joe and Sharon Haskovec

Deepest sympathies to your family.
My sympathies to your family on the loss of a great person. I always enjoyed when the guys would come out for lunch. It was nice to hear them talk about old school days, family and friends. It was always funny when one of the guys would want to pay for lunches and someone always beat them then argue who was gonna pay next time. Peace to the family
What a great guy, he always seemed to have a smile on his face and was a wonderful doctor! We also played bridge with Mary Kay & Jim in a couple’s bridge group. Our deepest sympathy to his great family, I know you will miss him very much and so will the New Hampton Community. God Bless & Keep you during this most difficult time. Bill & Sandi Garner
My sincere sympathy to the Carr family – Dr. Jim was a good man and will be missed by many. May he rest in peace.
Jimmy Carr was one of the nicest, most genuine, humble, caring and loving human beings I’ve ever met. He was genuinely a kind hearted person who would give and give and give. And funny! I have so many memories of laughter (the uncontrollable kind!) in the fishing boat, at the end of the day happy hour, at various weddings/events/etc – his heart was full of laughter and fun. It seems we got short changed only having him for 77 years – it’s not long enough. We will have many, many stories to recant as we continue our ‘Father-Son’ fishing trip next week and I know that Doc will be with us on this journey – and he will be our ‘quarterback’ as we continue on our walk through life. And although we are feeling incredible pain now as we say goodbye, we rejoice in knowing that he’s smiling down on us now (and yes, I’m feeling the smile and twinkle in his eye now as I write this!) from heaven and reunited with all of our past loved ones – and that our ‘goodbye’ is only short term and it’s better said ‘until we see you again, Jimmy’!!! We love you Jim! Mary Kay, Bobbie/Pegster, Daver/Liz, Barb/Dave, Jane/Joe, Suzie/Doug and all your families – I know that you know the impact your husband/father/grandfather had on all of us. He touched so many of us as ‘circle of love’ was amazingly extensive. Thank you for sharing him as you did and my sincere condolences to you all in this tough time. You’re all in our thoughts and prayers.
Linda And Gary Steven lit a candle in memory of Dr. James Charles Carr
Our deepest sympathy to the Carr Family. Jim was a positive part of our lives in so many ways. As a friend, a doctor, and the father of a wonderful family. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
Jim was a wonderful man and one of a kind. I will remember him as hard working, bright, fun loving, devoted and generous. He was the man who mended my broken risk when I was in high school. He and Mary Kay shared their home with me when I had none. He was a wonderful father and grandfather. I’m happy he had such a long, productive life and happy for the wonderful family he left behind. He will be dearly missed by all. Our thoughts are with Mary Kay and the rest of the Carr family.
To the entire family….Tom and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy in your sudden loss….we knew Jim as a neighbor with a great group of kids in our neighborhood, I knew him from the FSA office with family farm dealings, but most of all as being a huge part of the New Hampton Chickasaw wrestling tradition….not only in history with his own personal accomplishments, but as a proud parent, grandparent and fan! Mary Kay and Jim would share with us how their other grandkids were doing while we were watching Drew and the NH team…..we will miss him next year in the stands but he will be watching and cheering from a heavenly front row seat…
Will NEVER forget the time Jim and I went squirrel hunting! Saw a side of him that morning I never knew existed. A great man. A great Doctor. One of kind that is not found very often.
