I worked with Mr Moter and Al Joseph at Joseph and Joseph for a short time, then the Carter Recession laid some of us off. Mr Moter was a gallant man, very easy to talk with. Even his picture above shows those kind, understanding and wise eyes. God bless you, Cass and your family in their grief. Dan Cassin

Merrill, Cindy, Cash,
I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you all at this time.
I want to extend my deepest sympathies and prayers for the loss of your Father & grandfather. He and your Mom/ grandmother were such good friends to my parents for many years . The Audubon memories are endless.

Cass was always one of my favorite cousins - and I just loved being around Merrill and Cindy when they were growing up. I wish we were closer geographically so we could be with the family at these difficult times. All our sympathy -

Uncle Cass was always an interesting and stately fellow to look up to. I will miss him in my life and remember all the good that he was! Love to all of my family, especially the Motors. Although I deeply regret not being able to attend the services, I am thinking of all of you!

"Cass" was always a true gentleman to my mother Jan Shostle. He taught her how to play golf and live life to the fullest. He will certainly be missed. Suzanne Doane
