Dr. Daniel G. Carey

I knew Dan as a colleague/co-worker in the mid-1980s at United Hospital's Heart & Lung Center in St. Paul, and then at the University of Minnesota where we both went back to graduate school for more learning. While he told me many stories of baseball, I most remember our cycling together - Dan was always fond of reminding me how much weight he had lost since his baseball days and that he could keep up with me on the bike (he being 12 years older than me). I only stayed in touch with Dan...

I'm saddened to learn of Dan's passing. I only knew him through a brief encounter, but was touched by Dan's sensitivity and kindness. I'll pray for Dan and those who loved him. What a loss.

Sincerely,

I just heard about Dan's death. Dan and I have known each other for many years through a mutual friend (Mark Richardson). Dan and I talked once or twice a year about Twins games. The last time I saw Dan was at a Twins game at the Metrodome. It was a playoff game and I was invited to sit with Dan and his friends. Over the years we got together for a few Twins games. Dan was very generous. I remember that he called me a few times to say that he could not use his Twins tickets and that I was...

I was only 9 when Dan and brother Dave led Hastings to a State Baseball Championship, but I will never forget the experience of being from little old Hastings and winning the big one. A great family that has been a class act all their lives.

Dear Norma and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Dan. I always remember him playing ball in the neighborhood and with the high school team. So sad to have lost such a brilliant young man.
Love and God Bless,

Dear Norma and Family, Our hearts and prayers go out to you. We remember Dan as a wonderful and polite young man in our neighborhood in Hastings. Our latest contacts with Dan were at the Minnesota Gopher football Bowl Games. A memorial has been sent to our friend Father Martinka. He is a missionary in Juarez, Mexico. Leona and John Schutt

To All of Dan's Family and Friends,
We extend our sincere sympathy to all for the loss of a great friend.
We were on our way to the funeral but due to awful roads, we were unable to make it. I think Moose would understand being that we could not even drive as fast as Moose would be driving (and that is really slow).
We will miss Dan's stories even the repeated ones, his wonderful sense of humor and certainly his quoting of baseball statistics! The baseball season will not be...
