Joe Tom was born on December 4, 1933 in Oklahoma to Nile and Madge Carr on their way home to Texas. Joe Tom enlisted in the United States Air Force as soon as he was of the eligible age. He served our country proudly as a Master Sergeant during four tours in The Vietnam War. Upon his retirement from the U.S. Air Force, he was employed by Dickie Carr Sand & Gravel, Inc.
