Carey, a former Palo Alto mayor and well-known figure in Silicon Valley real estate, died on Aug. 11 at his home in Portola Valley surrounded by his family, following a brief illness. He was 82. He was born on March 11, 1933, to Paul T. and Stanleigh Carey, who were an artist and pianist, respectively. He grew up in Berkeley, graduated from Berkeley High School and earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He later studied at the law school there at Boalt Hall, receiving his law degree in 1961. From 1955 to 1957, he served as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force and attained the rank of captain.
