York Harbor
Robert Dale Carr of York Harbor passed away on Sunday, Nov. 22, after a brief illness. He passed peacefully in his home, surrounded by family. He was 80 years old.
Born and raised in Ellsworth, Bob served in the Air Force and was a proud veteran. Very active in civic organizations, he was a member of the Masons, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He had the honor of serving as president of the Maine Elks Association from 1998-1999.
During his service for the Elks, he held a series of leadership positions and received many rewards and accolades. He enthusiastically coordinated programs and events in support of veterans, drug awareness, scholarships and youth activities. Bob also volunteered at the York Community Service Association Food Pantry for many years.
He enjoyed gardening, fishing, socializing and exploring the backroads and waters of New England in his camper. Most of all, Bob reveled in a good joke and had an endless repertoire of humorous stories that he was able to bring to life, in his unique style, at any occasion. He was predeceased by his wife, Mary Lou. He is survived by his four children, four grandchildren and an extended family who will miss him dearly.
A private family celebration of life will be held in lieu of a service.
