Not sure what to say?

As a long time co-worker and friend of Casey, I am very much saddened to hear today of his passing. Everyone at Goss who knew him spoke very well of him. He was a joy to know and to work with! I missed him and his go-go personality once he retired, and I regret that I'll never again be able to chat with him. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and to all of those who had the priviledge to know and to admire him. He had a heart of gold.

Casey was an inspiration to me at Rockwell. When things were tough, he somehow always knew just what to say. His character spoke volumes. He was kind, caring, and considerate. I will truely miss him.

Dear Anne Marie and Tony,
We send our deepest sympathy for the loss of your father and friend. Like the song says "God only cries for the living for they are so far from home." Casey is now home, in peace with his heavenly Father to be involved with the greatest celebration of our faith--Easter Sunday!!!!! Celebrate his life through memories, laughter and tears for that is a sign of a GREAT Man.
Love to you and your family
