we just received the news last night of Cary's Passing and were absolutely devastated. I met Cary about 9 years ago with Mitch and Jackie Tribesman. I was always so impressed with Cary's walk with Christ, and rest assured he touched many more lives than you know. May the Lord Bless his family during this very difficult time.

We were so sad to hear of Cary's passing. He was a lifelong friend but we hadn't seen much of each other in recent years. When we did talk or see each other I felt like I was right back in Upper Darby with my good friend. He will be truly missed. We pray for his family.

Words can't say how sad I feel about my life long friend losing his battle to health issues. Cary was a 'best friend' for almost 60 years. We shared so many wonderful times together and argued like brothers. At the end of the day there was nobody that I trusted more and depended on for advice. Life will never be the same for me and I will never forget him.
