To The Family and Friends of Rev. Frank Cassidy. I met Fr. Cassidy while attending St. Cajetan, he was a priest at St. Walter. He has touched alot of hearts back in the 70's, we knew at 4pm during the week Fr. Frank would be up at Kennedy Park, playing football with the neighborhood kids. So from all the times we had shared, my deepest condolences go out to his friends and family, may you rest in peace.....Terry Link St. Cajetan class of 1971

Dear Father John:

My condolences on the loss of your brother, Father Frank. We go back a long way. I've known you two since your grade school days at Saint Agnes. My late brother, Ralph, was a former classmate of your's and we four would go to Flossmoor to play a little baseball, now and then. I know how hard it is to lose a brother and know you are already missing Fran. My best to you.
