December 31, 2012 - Carey and I worked side by side in the µSR counting rooms at TRIUMF many times over many years. I will miss his help, his courteous judgement, his sense of humor and his friendship. The obituary fails to mention that he was also a playwright, favoring topics of poignant social relevance with his lively and playful imagination. I'll miss that too. He was a good man.

From what I've read, he has had a very fruitful life, touching the lives of many. My sincere condolences to the family.

I regret that there was not a chance for us to meet for another face-to-face chat since my graduation from VSU.He was brilliant and stimulated my imagination to base a character upon him in my writings. Dr. Stronach, I am diminished.I hope to see you again somewhere in the space-time continuum.

December 20, 2012 - Joan, John, and Howard, I was very sorry to learn of Cary's passing. I have happy memories of our time together as children when Cary and his family visited our Grandmother Maynard's home in Raleigh. Cary always seemed to create a little mischief durng his visits and we both enjoyed laughing at the adults. Unfortunately I do not think I will be able to join the gathering on Saturday. However, on behalf of myself and my sister Nancy we offer our thoughts and prayers. Cary was a brilliant fellow and a real contributor to his community as well as his family. I was proud to have him as my cousin and I am sorry we did not see each other more frequently in the last years of his life.
