BOXFORD - William Carr, 70, passed away peacefully on January 27, 2023, surrounded by those who loved him most. Born in March of 1952 to Edward and Margaret Carr, William was raised in the suburbs of Needham, MA, alongside his beloved late brother, Barry.
In the first portion of his life, William discovered a love for automotives, and frequented local Car Shows with his family on sunny summer days. Soon, Williams career shifted course and he flourished in his career involving Medical Equipment Production.
Survived by his loving wife Aleida, his three daughters Kerri White (and husband Dan), Natasha Fiers (and husband Steven), and Maria Carr. William is also survived by his five grandchildren-Lily White, Jake Fiers, Elena White, Evelyn Fiers, and the newest addition to the family, Dylan White-all of whom loved getting candies and sweets from Papa when they visited. He also often expressed sincere and deep love & gratitude for his extended family and close friends.
Singing classic rock or Show Tunes from his favorite programs,William was someone who lived for bringing joy to everyone he met. He shared his happiness with others by engaging in conversations with strangers often, becoming quick friends with everyone he met. His laugh could truly fill a room and his sense of humor was like no other. An avid fan of Stephen King and similar authors, William frequented his town library and always had a stack of books by his bedside.
In honor of William, a private service were conducted with his closest family members to bid him farewell on his final journey.
We love you Dad, and we always will.

This is a real blow! Bill was my best friend from Mitchell school from Kindergarten to 6th grade. We did everything together with Joel Johnson as well. Pollard and after school sports got in our way, but the memories are all still there. I'm so sorry for his family, he really was a unique and good friend!

I remember Billy very well as we lived close to each other...Billy on Holland Terrace and me on Fairlawn Street...coincidentally both deadend streets splitting a block partially in two, very close to Needham High.
We followed the same path thru Needham schools...Mitchell, Pollard & NHS. I have a memory of Billy taking some classes at NHS on the bottom floor of the "C" building where the "Industrial Arts" courses were taught and maybe there was a place were students could work on cars. There were times when I would go to Needham and see my parents and for some reason I think Billy worked at a gas station on Highland Avenue in Needham Heights doing mechanical work on cars. I'm so glad he lived and worked in professions that were passions and not just "jobs".
My sincere condolences to Billy's family. He was a kind man with a good soul.
