I never met Dr. Carr personally but he was referred to me by someone in the field because I made scrub hats and worked at the Veterans hospital in Chicago for 40 years.  Probably 20 years ago,  Dr. Carr purchased several of them and only through email did we communicate once or twice a year doing business.  I just came across this because I was looking for someone to continue my eye care because we are relocating to Nevada.  I was sadden to hear of his passing.  He seemed like a very nice fun life-loving person.  My heartfelt sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues.   

I am very sadden to hear this news Dr. Tyree saved my left eye when i was 18 years of age. I continued to see him over the years. Dr Tyree also took care of my hold family as well. Dr. Carr will always be in my ❤. May God bless and protect his family forever and forever. RIP Dr Tyree Carr.

A friend of mine needed a ophthalmologist. I went to Dr. Carr 38 yrs ago and I wanted to recommend him to her. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.I only went to him once yet I still remembered his name and how fantastic he was! May the family of Dr. Carr find comfort in knowing that he is with Our Lord, Jesus Christ. He is home!

Dr Carr was my opthomoligist from the age of 15 until my forties, my whole family went to him at one point. I send my deepest condolences to the family. I apologize for this being written so late however, Im unfortunately just learning of Dr Carrs passing. He was the coolest to ever do it! Rest well Dr Carr, youll be missed.

It only took a few minutes of time with Mary and Dr. Carr to feel their gentle loving souls. Mary, you will be in my heart and prayers and I know that Dr. Carr is now your personal angel.    Jackie Moody, Irvine, CA

My husband and I were patients of Dr. Carrs  for close to 25 years ,my mother was also a patient until her passing. He was without a doubt one of the most caring kind physicians we ever encountered.  We Wish his family much strength in knowing he lead a much admired life.

Dear Mary and family, I was so sorry to hear the sad news. Dr. Carr was so supportive of his staff and all of us who worked with him with IJCAHPO.  I am glad that we got to talk in Chicago this fall, he always was so kind and funny and well-spoken.  It was an honor to know him and to meet his true love and soul mate, Mary. I am happy that IJAHPO is starting a scholarship in his honor. He will be missed.

Although we can't be with you while you remember your loved one, you're in our thoughts from afar.

Dr.Tyree Carr was an incredible ophthalmologist and colleague. His work ethic and superb surgical skills will be long remembered.

I am heartbroken to see this in the paper today.  Dr. Carr has been my eye doctor since I was a teenager and he took care of my parents and my grandparents.  

You couldn't find a finer gentleman and doctor.  I truly loved seeing him for my routine eye exam once a year during my life.  

I know that he is at peace and with God.  I pray that wonderful memories of him give peace to his family and friends.  

With sympathy

Thank you for believing in me.
I will miss you forever. Your friend for life.
