Laurence "Larry" John Carr passed away on May 12, 2011, at Providence Alaska Medical Center. The family invited the public to attend the viewing, which was held at Janssen's Evergreen Memorial Chapel. The funeral Mass was at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish. The Most Rev. Archbishop Francis T. Hurley officiated.

There were no bounds or barriers to Larry Carr's interests. Business. Politics. Education. Public service. Art. Travel. Sports. Community and world affairs. All of that and more drew his active involvement. While he did not go to college, he never ceased being a student. He constantly sought new people and activities and adventures to nourish his mind and spirit. No individual's successes or problems were too small for his attention. No major challenge was too large for him to overcome. Larry Carr was a big man with an even bigger heart. He loved his wife, Wilma, who was his lifetime partner in all things. He loved his children and grandchildren, and their children. He loved his countless friends. And he loved life. No one will ever know how large Larry Carr's universe was, since he was a private man who seldom discussed his good works. But he never tired of doing them.

A full obituary will run at a later date. Memorial bequests may be made to Alaska Pacific University, 4101 University Drive, Anchorage 99508-4647; and Catholic Social Services, 3710 E. 20th Ave., Anchorage 99508.
