Richard was a great dad and grandfather (or Abuelito as his grandkids called him). He adored and welcomed his daughter, Ayanna Carr, in 1974, his son-in-law when she married Mark Brown in 2005 and his two grandkids Nyla (2005) and Jaden (2008). He especially loved spending his last days with them in Raleigh, NC. He will be missed, but his legacy lives on with his children and grandchildren.

Richard served on the Board of OneUnited Bank for almost 30 years (1995-2023), providing steady guidance that supported the Bank's success.Through Richard Carr's relationships, Kevin Cohee and Teri Williams bought their first bank, Boston Bank of Commerce (BBOC) in 1995, that led to OneUnited Bank, the largest Black owned bank in America. Richard introduced Kevin and Teri to the previous CEO, Ron Homer, who was seeking capital for the bank. Their investment launched BBOC on a path that included acquiring and combining 3 additional Black owned bank - Peoples National Bank in Miami, and Founder National Bank and Family Savings Bank in Los Angeles. Without the introduction as well as the approval of the Board of Directors, who knew Richard well, their investment may not have happened.
