Played baseball & softball for many years in Gastonia, got to know Casey well. He had a great sense of humor when he umped games, he knew most of players by name or nickname.

Remembered Casey calling little league baseball when I played for Temple Baptist Church 1964. Didn't argue with this big guy, he loved baseball was fair and honest. Prayers for his families.
