I'm James Chappelear's father and I wanted to share a story that exemplifies the amazing person that Bob was. My daughter Emily and I were invited to three Caskey family events over the 2021-2022 holiday season. During the Thanksgiving event after Emily and I had already selected a couple of dinner spots at a table in the basement, Bob asked if we (as new guests to these great events) would join him at the main table in the dining room. I, being new to these events did not realize the honor of being asked to sit at the main table with the patriarch of the Caskey family, so I told him, "No thanks, we have our plates already downstairs". Later upon returning home I realized my mistake. Then weeks later at the Christmas gathering, Bob, not deterred, again invited us to sit at the main table and we promptly mentioned that we would be honored. Bob, like the rest of the Caskey family were so amazingly welcoming to Emily and I into the family and that is something that Emily and I will never forget.

We "grew up" across the street from the Caskey's. Mr. C was one of a kind! Super smart; loved his lawn (lol) his cars and his family. His nicknames for everyone were epic! Used to love listening to him practice the steel guitar (not sure Mrs. C shared the same enthusiasm! My deepest condolences to Mrs. C, Tina, Terri, Laurie, Bobby and Annette. It was a real pleasure interacting with him and enjoying his very unique sense of humor. Rest Easy Mr. C. (the original 4332 Crew) I see you made the same impression on the current 4332 family!

We grew up across the street from the Caskey family from the early 70 s to the mid 80 s. My brothers and sister grew up with Tina, Terri, Laurie and Bobby. GREAT FAMILY! We loved hearing Mr. Caskey practice his Steele guitar in the garage on weekend nights. He was very approachable, funny and simply a reall good person, as is the whole family! Playing music for the heavens now. REST IN PEACE MR C!

I have many fond memories of Bob and the times he mentored me as I was starting with Xerox. I always appreciated his ability to be a friend and a teacher at the same time. I always missed him after he left Xerox and always asked Bob Jr. about him every time I saw him.
I'm sure he will be missed by his family and friends. I offer my condolences to all of them.

We love the Caskey family so much! Our lives changed 31 years ago when we had the good fortune to move in across the street from the Caskey home. So many great memories and good times had over all these many years. There are no words that truly express the grief and sorrow we feel as a family as we mourn the loss of a fantastic friend and neighbor for over three decades. A life well lived by a remarkable man and a legacy that will stay with us forever. Thank you, for touching our lives and making our little corner of the world a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
We love you all, Michael, Punkin, Linda, Ray
