John Charles Barr, 60, of Carmel, was called to join his loving God in heaven on Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Born on February 3, 1951, in Indianapolis, Indiana, he was the son of James and Mary Ellen (Tindall) Barr.

John worked as the Environmental Laboratory Manager for the City of Indianapolis Department of Public Works and White River Environmental Partnership for over thirty years. Additionally, he worked in Laboratory Information Management Software design and implementation for Telecation.
John was a quietly kind and generous man who enjoyed teaching his sons as he learned from his own father. He enjoyed many activities including remote control boat racing with his sons and brother which culminated in the achievement of becoming three-time International Model Power Boat Association US-1 National Champion and winner of the Excellence of Performance Award in 2002, the IMPBA's highest award.

He was a devoted father and loving husband who loved boating on Lake Michigan and Morse Reservoir and spending time with his family and friends at his vacation home on the Kalamazoo River in Douglas, Michigan. John also provided a loving home for his mother-in-law for seventeen years.
