Cary worked harder than anyone to establish relationships with people from all walks of life. He was a true friend to many. He loved the game of soccer and became a referee.

He gave so much of himself to family and friends; never meeting a stranger and always able make the person he was engaging feel as though they were the most important person to him. He loved to be out on the water boating and fishing. He enjoyed teaching his many nieces and nephews how to love life and appreciate every minute. He had a servant’s heart and will be remembered for his kindness as well as his incredible laugh and sense of humor.
