John Carr, a regular at the ECF Championships and last spotted at Torquay with his wife Wendy, also a player, has died. John was a wheelchair user, a quietly outspoken gentleman. I see his clubs listed as Portsmouth, Emsworth. I could not find his dates but I did see his passing had already been noted. He had not played for about 3 years. RIP.

Re: John W Carr
Played John a few times. We always had a good laugh and banter. I always seemed to bump into him and Wendy away from the chess. Always had a fun chat. Will miss seeing him about.

Its not a failure to lose. Its a failure when you dont try and win.

Thanks to Brendan's photograph, I now know I met him. A sad loss.

Re: John W Carr
Yeah I believe I played John at a congress (Blackpool?) about 10 years back.
RIP.
