Fond memories of Uncle John: him playing harmonica and singing the blues and the Purple People Eater song; his crazy, quick sense of humor and mischievious eyes; him teaching me to call in the fish "o little fish, come bite my hook"; Phil's Pizza with sausage, green pepper, mushooms...and OH YEAH we better throw in some onion ... GOOOOD :-); the 2011 Christmas Miracle; how he'd complain about me being part Italian while devouring my homemade spaghetti sauce! R.I.P. Uncle Johnny.

Carey Family,
I am a coworker of Bernard "Buddy" Carey. I am really sorry about the loss of your loved one, John M. Carey. I did not have the pleasure of meeting John, but if he was anything like Buddy I know he was a great man. My family would like to send their condolences to yours and let you know we will keep you all in our prayers. May God hold you all close to him at this time.
