Condolences to the Family

I was a friend of Cary’s in 1967 1968 when he had Suffolk Camera Exchange in Lindenhurst. He was a wonderful man. He kindeled my love for photography and taught me most of what I know about it.  I loved and respected him as a teacher, a veteran, a role model and a friend. My only regret is that I lost touch with him around 1974 and was unable to connect with him before his passing. I remember John and Elizebeth, I ate dinner at your house and have pictures of you and your mom and dad from a suprise birthday party we had for him. My sincerest condolences to his children. He was a fine man and will be sadly missed.
