Bill & Family,

Whether it was playing around in Westford or down at Foxwoods, just knowing that Dad was content (and more often than not he was much more than content) was enough to lighten up any room. It's an honor to be able to have had a chance to know such a remarkable man, and as his family you have all done him proud...

Sending my prayers and love,

Grant & The Casassa Family

Billy,
I'm really at a loss for words of comfort because I know how much your dad meant to you. Just remember our phone conversation and find that 'space' you were in during it -- there, you will find the strength, peace and comfort you'll need to go on.

James 1:2-3 My brothers, consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when faith succeeds in facing trials, the result is the ability to endure.
