William L Carr, Sr. born October 18, 1944, in Middletown, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 5, 2025, in Melbourne, Florida. Bill was born to the late John and Doris Carr and was the oldest of six children. Bill was loved by all who met him.
He was a hard-working man who spent his entire adulthood working with horses. He was a horse trainer in the harness racing field and worked for many different racing stables. He loved caring for and training standard-bred horses. After leaving the harness racing industry he began working with horses at Walt Disney World – Magic Kingdom. He worked on the Disney Ranch; drove the horse-drawn trolley down Main Street and occasionally drove Cinderella’s Coach with horses for weddings at the Magic Kingdom. He retired from Magic Kingdom after 20 years.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one sibling, Barbara, and one granddaughter, Talynne. He leaves behind his wife of more than 50 years, Mona; his children, Michele (Shane) Duffey; Buddy (Traci) Carr and Philip Carr. In addition, he leaves behind 8 grandchildren whom he adored, Mason, Blaise, Tosh, Gunner, Colton, Seamus, Audrey and Raven. Also surviving are four siblings, Shirley Maddox, Martha Buehner, Debbie Snyder and David Carr and a host of nieces and nephews. Also left to mourn his passing are his lifelong friends Joe and Janet Essig.
A celebration of life memorial service will be held in the future in Ohio.

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
