Biography
Alfred Roy Carey was born October 23, 1929 in New York City.[1] On February 20, 1960, Alfred married Patricia in Brooklyn, New York City. That same year Morgan Carey was born and in 1962, Alison was born. The Carey family faced a lot of racial issues and agression. Some examples of the agression they received include: having a gun shot fired through their window, having their dogs poisoned by racist locals and having crosses scorched on their lawn by the Klu Klux Clan.[2] Patricia was also "disowned" by her family because of her marriage with Alfred. The racial issues would eventually lead to their divorce when Mariah was 3. Not much is known about Alfred and his life and the interest in him remains strong across the Internet, with thousands of Mariah fans googling information about him each month.[3] Alfred would die of cancer on July 4, 2002.
