Arch Cape, Oregon - Bob Tarr (Robert Henry Tarr, Jr.) died at the age of 79 on May 23, 2025, surrounded by family and friends in his home in Arch Cape.

Bob was predeceased by his wife Jan and his brother Richard, and is survived by four siblings and their spouses: Susan Tarr Lange (Arthur), Paul Tarr (Julie), Tom Tarr (Kristy), and Leila Tarr (Steve Estes).

He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews; stepchildren, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren; math students and colleagues; and countless friends in the coastal area and beyond.

Bob was a revered math teacher on the north coast for many years. The loves of his life were his beloved wife Jan, his magnificent Bernese Mountain Dogs, and teaching math to young people.

"I had a wonderful life -- I got to live in Arch Cape over half my life, be married to Jan for 35 years, and teach kids math!"

Bob was a longtime core member of St. Catherine's Episcopal Church in Manzanita, where well-behaved dogs are always welcome.

Memorial services will be held at St. Catherine's on July 19 at 4 PM, followed by a reception and a beach fire.
