Not sure what to say?

What a great honor and privelege it was to have known this great man, as well as his entire beautiful family. Growing up in Bonita, attending many memorable firesides, hanging out with Billy Jr in Sunday School, and just knowing what a great blessing this family was to those who knew them. I'm sure he has a legacy that will live on, for he had that Christ-like compassion that those around him could feel. Even as a youth I felt his warm and welcoming spirit.

John 11:33 says: "When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping and groaning, he groaned within himself and became troubled."

My wife and I were very fortunate to meet Mr. Casper at Augusta last year and he talked with us like he knew us. To the Casper family, our deepest condolences and on the eve of the 79th Masters, he will be missed.

I am a resident of Utah and have followed Billy Casper through the years. My Condolences go out to the Family left behind. In my possession I have his Golf Bag and Air Bag, from the 1979 Rider Cup.
