Philip Hoff Carr

Philip Hoff Carr, 79 years young, of Angola, passed away Tuesday, August 16, 2022, at Cameron Memorial Community Hospital in Angola, Indiana, with loved ones by his side.

Phil was born in Hicksville, Ohio on January 25, 1943, to Joseph and Mary (Hoff) Carr. He grew up there playing several sports and graduating from Hicksville High School in 1961.

His roots were planted deep in Hicksville where he met many of his lifelong friends and where much of his family still resides today. Most importantly, Hicksville is where he met and married the love of his life, Cynthia “Cindy” L. Osmun on May 30, 1964. They began a beautiful family there then eventually moved to Tucson, Arizona then to Angola, Indiana and on to Coldwater Lake, Michigan.

Phil and Cindy moved back to Angola in 2013 to be closer to their continually growing family. Phil drove semi for Bostwick Braun Distribution Center in Ashley, Indiana where he retired in 2005 after an 18 year long career with the company. He stood out to his employer, co-workers, and customers as a favorite due to his hard work and friendly demeanor.

He was a member of the First Church of Christ in Hicksville, Ohio and attended SonLight Community Church of Angola, Indiana. His relationship with Jesus was one of deep trust and joy. He knew and loved his Heavenly Father from an early age and lived out the principles of his Christian faith in every aspect of life.

Phil is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Cynthia L. Osmun Carr of Angola, Indiana; three daughters Michele “Shelley” R. (Darin) Rhoades of Angola, Indiana, Aimee L. (Jon) Sprague of Bowling Green, Ohio and Kristin L. (Andy Grandin) Carr of Angola, Indiana; brother, Edwin Carr of Garrett, Indiana; sisters Sally (Mike) Hunter of Hicksville, Ohio and Nancy (Dave) Aten of Hicksville, Ohio. Also surviving are his beloved 10 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren (with two more on the way) and many loving nieces and nephews.

His impact on the lives of each of these people (and many more) is indescribable. The ripple effect from his unconditional love and kind spirit will live on for many generations.

Phil was preceded in death by his parents, his mother and father in-law, two sisters-in-law, Rita Carr and Nancy Beechy, and two brothers-in-law, Craig and Phillip Osmun.
