Bernie (Jan), Mary, Paul (Pinky) and Martha (Robert)...We were so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing...although we did not know him well he seemed like a gentle sweet man. When we did see him he always was friendly and had a smile on his face.
God bless you all and your families at this time!

Bernie was the most gentle man I've ever met. He was a cherished friend of my mother and father and was my little league baseball coach in the mid 50's. He truly made the world a better place for many of us who had the pleasure of knowing him.
God Bless the Carey family, you are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
John F. Rafferty Jr.
