Dear Jeri and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Pete was the kindest and most sincere individual I have ever met. As a kid growing up I was fortunate to spend as much time with the Carey family as I did my own. The Careys were a second family to me. He was such a good man and I am a better person for having known him and the entire Carey family. God bless.

Just heard about Mr. Carey's passing and wanted to express my personal condolences. He was such a nice man and role model to me. Always had a kind word yet could be tough when he needed to be. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family, with special thoughts to Brad, Neil, and Chuck. May he rest in peace and may the Lord give you strength through your grief. I feel so blessed that God allowed your dad to be a part of my life.

Dear Jeri so sorry to read of Pete’s passing. My condolences to you and your family.

My heart and prayers go out to all my Carey cousins. Pete really cared about all the people he had any contact with. He was always ready to help others. He was extraordinarily kind and always made me and everyone feel welcomed, included, and valued.

Dear Jeri, You probably don't remember me as I haven't seen you or Pete in at least 50 years. Your brother, Richard, was a very good friend of mine as well as a representative for my legal matters. Pete was a great guy as well as a Fenwick Friar. Last week I received a notice that Irv Bergquist celebrated his 100th birthday in Florida. I believe that he and Peter worked together many years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Carey family during this difficult time. ...

Remembering Pete (and Geri)...Fenwick years and time with UARCO. Family time shared with our "kids" was always special. Thanks for loving us Pete ! Beth Butler (and Fran looking down.) Oh the places they'll go !

I knew Pete through my parents (Larry & Nancy Maloney). I would see him at parties or church, but it wasn't very frequent. I loved seeing him. He is incredibly warm and interested in what was happening in everyone's lives. I last saw him at my niece's graduation from Fenwick since one of his grandson's was also graduating. My dad saw him from a distance & approximately 30 people heard my dad yell out to him because he was so excited to see him & Jeri. It was very short since everyone was...

Dear Peter, always greeting with that warm smile. He loved his Church, his high school, and obviously his family. And all loved him back. Fr. Bill O’Shea

To all of the Carey family:

Our condolences and prayers to each of you on your loss. Mr. Carey truly was a gentleman and all class. Many fond memories of being together at youth basketball games and more. He was always so kind and welcoming to everyone.

God Bless you all,

The Rosenwinkel family
