Hall of Fame broadcaster and Mount Pleasant native Paul Carey died Tuesday in Rochester at the age of 88.
Carey died of complications from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and heart disease. He was placed in hospice about six weeks ago.
Carey graduated from Mount Pleasant High School in 1946 and attended Central Michigan University from 1946 to 1948. He transferred to Michigan State and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in speech, radio and dramatics.
Carey Hall — located in the Towers residence halls — was named after his father, Joseph P. Carey, who was a geography professor at CMU.
