Not sure what to say?

Casey was a wonderful neighbor and human being. We always swapped his fish for my homemade banana bread! We moved away when our girls were babies, but after deciding to move back to this same neighborhood myself with my now-teenage daughters, Stefanie and Carlie, the Fredericks were still consistent, supportive, and were even references again for me at OSUMC.

I just found out about Casey's death and want to express my condolences. I had the privilege of serving as a wrestling manager from 1955-58 and enjoyed those years at Ohio State with Casey as a mentor.

As a former Penn State wrestler, I knew well about the trio of wrestling coaches, "Doc" Speidel(Penn State), Rex Perry (Pitt) and Casey (OSU). They were great sportsmen, gentlemen, and mentors of young athletes.
God grant him rest.

Dear Family,
My brother, Doug, and I lived next to Casey and Bonnie on Foster Avenue. We enjoyed many fish fries with Casey! He always had a smile on his face and was quick to tell a good story. We were all lucky to have known Casey.

Sincerely,
Beth Aschenbach Wilson
