Michael Carr Obituary
Michael Thomas Carr
On Monday December 5, 2022 Michael T Carr of Portland, Maine passed away at Seaside
Nursing Home, Portland, Maine. Michael was 72.
Michael was the first-born child to Robert and Jeanne Carr of Gray, Maine. He attended
Governor Baxter School for the Deaf in Falmouth, Maine. He graduated in 1969. While he
attended and lived at the school, he participated in many activities and sports. He played
basketball on the school team until an injury sidelined him. Michael achieved the highest level in
Boy Scouts when he earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
Michael was an avid sports fan who enjoyed all sports. He was particularly enthusiastic about
every Boston team, keeping player and team stats which he was very proud to share. He bowled
for many years on two leagues in Portland, Maine. He attended many local sports games in the
Portland area. He also enjoyed his outings with various groups from the deaf community. He was
a walker and would walk a couple loops around Baxter Boulevard as his exercise.
Michael worked at Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, Maine. He took an early retirement and
continued enjoying his independence until his health no longer permitted it.
Michael had an engaging sense of humor. He loved to tease his sisters and never missed an
opportunity to do so. He even got comfortable teasing his nurse Dee.
Michael was predeceased by his father Robert, his mother Jeanne, and his beloved grandmother
Louise Butler.
He is survived by his sister Janette and her husband Harry, sister Donna and her husband Bill,
sister Diane, his Aunt Judi, Uncle Buddy, several cousins, nieces and nephews.
Rest now our dear brother, forever in our hearts, love your sisters.
