Unfortunately MTI has lost another dear friend. I have personally know Carey and Marsha for many years and most certainly considered them very good friends. I have been to many boating events with Carey and Marsha over the years, and I can honestly say that we had a great time at each and every one of them. Carey and I spent countless hours working in our respective roles at the evens, and after the work was over, spent plenty of good times relaxing and "running our mouths"… Great times were had. I'll miss Carey…and I know that I'll think of him at every event we attend in the future… Our last event was in Destin at the Emerald Coast Poker Run. We didn't spend too much time together there, but I will say that most of his vibrant comments were about his family… Carey had two small children that he cared very much for. We will miss Carey very much. Marsha is one of the strongest women that I know. Her strength will pull her through tis terrible time. Marsha,You are certainly in our thoughts and prayers. TIM

Gosh he could make me laugh.

I remember a few years back they had bad flooding in the area and I called to check on him.

Me- How you guys doing? You need anything at all?

Carey- Hell no ! The phones are working and I been taking Woods' Airship RIB to and from work.(The shop is on a nice highway)

We laughed and laughed. He told me how many cases of beer the RIB held. OMG I'm smiling thinking about it.
