It's with a heavy heart I post this. Harry, Black Dog has past away. I talked to his wife today. She is going to send me his obituary. When I get it, I will post it. Damn it all to hell. He was someone I really wanted to meet. We talked on the phone and you could tell he was somebody who cared. I'm going to miss him!
Harry and I rarely saw eye to eye but there were few people on this forum with more charisma. I, personally, appreciate his stance on animal welfare - and I am going to make a donation in his name (or at least his ET name) to our local animal shelter. RIP Harry. I wish the best for your family and pet(s).
Richard Carr, Of Newton, passed away unexpectedly November 7th, 2015 at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston at the age of 55. Born on December 12, 1959 in White Plains, NY; son of the late Robert and Jane (Rusk) Carr, Richie was raised and lived most of his life in Newton. A graduate of Newton North High School, Richie went on to Coyne School of Electricity. He was employed as a Master Electrician throughout his life owning & operating his own business “Richard A. Carr Electrical”. He was a member of the Electrical Forum and the International Dart Association. He had a love of dogs especially his own “Harry”. Richie is survived by his loving & devoted wife of 26 years Margaret M. “Peggy” Mancuso, his dear brother & sister Robert Carr and his wife Michaela Dewale of Augusta, GA and Susan Carr and her husband Leonard “Lenny” Shine of North Canton CT. In addition he is survived by several nieces & nephews. Relatives & Friends are respectfully invited to attend a Graveside Funeral Service in celebration of Richard’s Life at Calvary Cemetery, 250 High Street, WALTHAM on Friday November 20th at 1:00 p.m. The Brasco & Sons Memorial Chapels of WALTHAM assisted the family with arrangements.
Rich died from a massive stroke. I'm going to miss him more than I can say. He was just a pup, 9 months younger than me. We talked on the phone, he had that accent that was right out of the movies. His wife was trying to get Apple to unlock his computer so she could tell us, but no go. She knew who I was, said he talked about me and talked about the forum a lot. It was important to him, you all were important to him. The people that disagreed with him he defended when we would discuss the different threads. He really did care.
This blows, way to young. Harry is the only one I pmed back and forth with about stuff here, he always answered right away and seemed like a guy who genuinely wanted to help.
We'll miss ya bud
He was just as great a guy on the phone as he was here. He might have tried to get a rise out of people, but he would have turned right around and helped them out too.
He will be greatly missed, I wish all the best for his family not only now but for the future days they will miss is voice, sarcasm and love!
I haven't been on this site in over a year but just learned about Harry. I'm crushed. He was always so kind and rational. Rich, you will be missed. RIP.

Harry was the heart and soul of this forum and we are all better for having known him, if only in these pages. We've had our spats but his discernible good nature and love for his fellow man always shone through. He was a man of principle and I respected him. I take solace in the fact he's received his reward and his work is done. Go in peace tradesman
RIP Harry, you're going to be sorely missed. A conservative with class was what he was. His kind are in short supply. Condolences to his family and friends. ET won't be the same without him. Who's going to keep the global warming crowd honest now??
