    The Holiday Condo in Margate City, NJ will never be the same without Harry. He was the heart of the condo, took care of it’s needs with a loving heart and hands. We will all miss him, as he really took care of all of the residents. Harry could fix anything, and did.
    All of the condo owners loved and trusted him. His favorite place was the beach. It gave him pure joy to sit there with friends. His passing is a loss but I do feel his spirit will be there and that is a comfort. Harry, we love you and we will miss you!

    Sending Prayers to the Carr family.
    It was an honor and a privilege to know Harry.
    Me and my son only just met Harry two years ago but right away he made us both feel like he was our dad. He truly is the nicest man I ever met. And I think the happiest as well. We will miss him a lot.
    His spirit and soul covers our entire beach and it is a comfort to know he will be watching over us. He will enjoy that too.

    Rest in peace and may God take him in to heaven, the Eagles just lost their best fan.

    We met Harry only 3 years ago. We are so lucky that Michelle and Harry are our neighbors at the Holiday. There never was a time that when we pulled up that Harry wouldn’t come out and say “welcome home”. Yes, it was home because Harry and Michele took us under their wing and made sure we were ok. Yes, we are family!! I loved feeding him. I will miss sitting on the beach, sharing pretzels and tootsie pops. We love you Harry! You will alway be in our hearts! Don’t worry we will get Michele to the casino and take care of her the way you took care of us. 💔💔💔💔

    Julia & Eddie.

    Our thought and prayers to the Carr family….. Thank you Harry and Michelle for welcoming my family to the Holiday Condo family. Harry was always there to offer a helping hand, lend a tool or talk sports. We could always count on his “Welcome Home” statement when arriving at the shore. We were lucky to know him even though for a short time. I can not imagine the void he leaves for those that knew and loved him……Rest In Peace Coach

  14. Bob Wagner says:

    Rest-In-Peace Harry. Harry was one of the finest men I’ve ever known. My deepest condolences to his dear Michelle as well as Harry’s entire family.

  15. Jack Rutter says:

    Harry was a class guy and a class coach. I am sure you already got a coaching job in Heaven!

  16. John Wrzenski says:

    So many great memories with Harry from way back in the day: hanging with the gang outside the Green Corner – playing basketball, softball and I seem to remember flagball – being mutual fans of Santana. Harry always had a great sense of humor and was big fun to hang out with, and was also tough, a “man’s man” for sure. Together Michelle & Harry raised 3 “kids,” all 3 who I also grew to love to be around. I am so sorry for your loss Michelle, Mike, Harry Jr, and Chris and the rest of the Carr family.

  17. John and Debbie Branda says:

    Rest In Peace Harry! You will be missed. Many discussions on the Phillies and eagles
    Will have to wait until we see you again. God bless you and your beautiful family.

  18. Bruce and Lisa McLeod says:

    It will soon be 15 years that my husband and I have known the Carrs. Our fondest memory of Harry being just who he was, kind, and gentlemanly. Our hearts are filled with sadness at Harry’s passing. Our prayers are with the family at this time. May he Rest In Peace.
