Saline — Former University of Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr went home two weeks ago after celebrating an early Christmas with his 5-year-old grandson, Chad, and their families, and searched his dictionary.
Sometimes it is difficult to summon a definition for a word that we all know and frequently use but seldom truly understand: heartbreak.
Chad Carr died last Monday from an inoperable brain tumor 15 months after diagnosis.
Lloyd Carr, along with Chad’s other grandfather, Tom Curtis, like Carr a College Football Hall of Famer, joined with their children, Tammi and Jason Carr, to celebrate Chad’s life Sunday at Saline High School Performing Arts Center.
