In my 20+ years of knowing Carey I understood him to be an exceptional caring person. He found ways to help with humor and compassion.
My fondest memories are fishing with Carey.
I miss him. He helped so many.

RIP

Carey was my brother-in-law, my career and life mentor and my friend. He was a great person. I was fortunate to have him in my life for as long as I did. I will miss him.
