He was born in Richmond, Virginia and grew up in Indiana. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, Dennis moved to the Cape and taught at Barnstable High School, and then attended the University of Massachusetts where he earned his Ed.D. Upon returning to the Cape in the mid 1970's, he began working in Real Estate and opened his beloved business, Harvard Realty. Dennis treasured the friends he made through his work, and he loved telling his outrageous stories and keeping people laughing.
Dennis was predeceased by his parents Noble and Dortha Carey, by his brother Wayne, and by his children Leah Danielle and Matthew Dennis Carey.
He is survived by Jeanne, his wife of 37 years, and by his daughters, Melissa Edelmann of Rhode Island and Jami White of Tennessee, and by his brother Monte Carey. Very special to him, he is survived by his grandchildren, Josephine and Eleanor Edelmann and Wesley and Tucker White.
