Thomas Douglas Carr

Thomas had a very successful career as a truck driver. One of his most notable achievements was being awarded with the 3 Million Miles Safe Driving award. After 32 years of dedication to the company he retired from Roadway Trucking. He was an outdoorsman who enjoyed to fish and he loved to spend his time working in the yard.
