I am so sorry to read this. There just aren't words to express the sorrow, of losing a daddy. Mrs. Tarr, my heart is with you, and all of the family. Mr. Tarr will always be a lovely memory of my childhood. A dear, dear man, that was always smiling, and always kind to this neighborhood kid. As a testament to him, -- I don't think that we remember all the adults, when we are growing up, but I can still see Mr. Tarr smiling -- see the kindness in his face. He surely left a mark of love on the people that knew him.

My cousin Bob was always ready to tease. My most fun memory from way back was that he always called me Jan ICE instead of Janice. Bob & Priscilla let me live with them for a time till I got a job in Pittsburgh & could get my own place. I sure enjoyed that time, them & all 4 girls. It’s very hard to loose a family member. You are going to be missed very much cousin!

To my Sabo and Tarr cousins-What a great man. Bob taught me how bacon drippings like no other man could. He will be missed. Love always, Adam and Sheri Holland. ????
