To Sharon and the Entire Casey Family,
I hold you all in my prayers. I first worked with Bob in 1988 at Holy Rosary Academy, and was glad to become his colleague again at Sacred Heart when he joined our faculty in 2008. Everyone who knew Bob was inspired by his kind-hearted, friendly, positive attitude. He made the world a better place. God bless you all in your loss.
