I met Cary and Yari on the Malden River during the filming of Karen and the River. This journey with film was way out of my league. Cary led the way, with Yari behind the camera and I never felt lost. An occasional good push and a nudge here and there opened up my world. And I will forever be grateful to both father and son. As one article wrote, "Open your eyes," Cary said. "There is no end to the world."

I was deeply saddened to learn just recently about Cary. As I paused to reflect, I became increasingly surprised how much he & I did together - particularly during our early teens - growing up as close friends in Jeannette, PA. We were in the same Sunday School Class & learned Hebrew at Chevra Sholom Synagogue. We prepared for our Bar Mitzvahs together with Rabbi Waldman. We were in the same Boy Scout Troop & Patrol.

Babs, Yari, and Amber - we are deeply saddened to hear of Cary´s passing. Our hearts and thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Cary was one of the best men I´ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. I will be eternally grateful for our long time friendship, the numerous deep conversations we shared regarding history, art, culture, National Geographic, and family. Equally grateful for all your generous hospitality inviting us into your home to break bread and enjoy each other´s...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Sending condolences and prayers during this difficult time. Cary was a wonderful person, I enjoyed talking to him, and you could feel his passion for the world around us. Very sorry for your loss, Deanna and Gary Marsh (DeGhetto).

Cary invited me and a few other friends to his bar mitzvah in 1960. His dad also took us to see John Glen, the first American in space, in a welcome home parade in his Ohio home town. His folks always welcomed his friends into their home. Great memories with a great friend. Greg Skavinski JHS Class of 65´
