Butch, Kevin & Colleen:
I was so very sorry to hear about your dad's passing, I know all to well how hard it is when you loose a parent. Your family had the good fortune of having your parents around for a long time. I unfortunately never had the oppurtunity to meet your parents or the rest of your family but I heard lots of wonderful stories of what a great family yours is. Rejoice in the fact that you had him around for a long time and that all of the grandchildren had the chance to know their grandfather.
Keep the memories ever close to your heart.
Love and prayers,
Betty & Family

My life has been blessed having Ed as my Father-in-Law, even if for such a short time. I remember a lot of things about "Dad" - his famous pancakes, the way he knew Tampa, Florida "like the back of his hand", rattling off his children's names until he got the right one. So many others...
Dad, there is no rice in heaven!
Love, Marigrace

As my eyes well with tears I smile as I think about Mr. Cassidy. So kind - I don't think I ever heard him raise his voice. The door was always open and you were truly welcome! No matter what I looked like or how heavy I was, I'll never forget his famous words: YOU LOOK LIKE A MILLION BUCKS. He meant it. He will be missed, but my childhood memories will always be sweet and never forgotten. Love you Mr. C...
