Augustine Casey Obituary

It's been over two months now and instead of getting better it feels more unreal each day without dad. I miss him more than any words could ever, ever express. I can see from what I've read that no one really looks here anymore so I feel safe letting loose with my feelings. I miss my daddy and I often find it hard to even breath. I know others must have felt this way over death and I know that only time can heal this horrific loss. My dad was an amazing, wonderful person. There was just this feeling that he would always be in our lives, I know that's unrealistic and impossible but it was true and life without him feels so wrong and foreign. I love you daddy. I know only time can help the pain now. Please be with us all. I'm so happy you are no longer in pain. You had such a rough road the last few years. i know this is so selfish on my part but I just miss you being here so much. You were and will always be the best dad any girl could ever have hoped or dreamed of. God rest your beautiful soul and have mercy on those of us who now must learn to live without your tremendous love and warmth here in this world. I love you forever daddy! Love, Mary Elizabeth xoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxo

To my family,
It feels like my heart is gone. It is sad to see this chapter in our lives close. His wake and funeral befit a Head of State, and that's exactly what Gus was to all of us. We are blessed to have witnessed the street tribute at the end of April. I am blessed that I made the effort, albeit for 1-1/2 days to get to Cahersiveen, Mike Murts and "Over-the-Water". You all know how much Jameson, Schweppes White Lemonade and Turf mean to me and every glass I have or any turf I burn will always be in his honor, here forward. I know God has made a special place for the man that received the last rites 25 times. May God bless and keep him, Maura and all our deceased until we meet again. To echo Mary's sentiments, a very big thankyou to all the staff at St. Josephs and Weiss, especially Nurse Marta who stayed to the end. Love, Rob

When our families came over from Ireland we had each other to remind us of who we are. Gus was all of that in one Great Man.
He was a fine example. He had joy in his heart and love in his smile. That made you feel like his child.

I am one of Gus's daughters, Mary Elizabeth and I just wanted to thank all of you who have and will write in this guest book. Dad was the most wonderful father anyone could hope for. We were so lucky to have him. The emptiness we now feel is unbearable as he was such an important and major part of our everyday. Dad was loving, kind, thoughtful, caring, funny, and full of wisdom. He shared and taught us his great love of God and kept our Irish traditions strong. There is no one like him, my heart aches for him profoundly. I know he is at peace and no longer in pain. Thank you to everyone at St. Joseph Hospital who took such loving care of dad! Especially Dr. Blacker, Dr. Spear, Dr. Blecha, Dr. Connolly, Dr. Lewis, Dr. Friedman, Marlene Balik, Polly, Elsie, and Meagan in rehab all of the nurses such as you Linda, who really went out of your ways to be kind and helpful to dad and for making his many stays as comfortable as possible. Please forgive me for any names I did not mention, there were so many, thank you all so very, very much!!!!

To the Casey Family,

I am thankful that I was able to meet a true Irish Gentleman.

I can't recall ever being around Gus and not seeing him smile! My favorite memory will be of Thanksgiving 2010 with Gus & the Casey family. Great People, great food, loud Irish music, and a big smile on Gus's face! Also, how can you forget the traditional family book of "What are you thankful for".

I will honor Gus and always remember him when I am wearing my Flat Irish Golf Hat.

To Kevin, Karen and Family,

I never had the pleasure of meeting Gus personally, but have heard so many wonderful stories of his love of life and family, of his travels and his strength and courage.

Losing those we love can be unbearable, but know that he will continue to live in your hearts forever and that the memories you cherish can never be taken from you.

Though we couldn't be there, please accept my arms of comfort.

To Kevin and Karen, you have my deepest sympathy. I am so sorry for your loss.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To Marty & Family,
Very sorry for your loss, I remember your Dad as a Kid, He was one of the most kind hearted and respecful people I knew. You and your family are in our thought's and prayer's.
Marie Hegarty & Family.
