Duane H. Cassidy

I knew Duane Cassidy @ Norton AFB, CA., where he was Vice Wing Commander & I was Chief of the Command Post. He was then a Colonel & I a Lt.Col. He sympathized when I was not promoted on first consideration & encouraged me not to retire.

Mrs.Cassidy I know this is very late but, I just heard today that General Cassidy had pasted away. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a very special man.
I don't even know if you will remember me. I worked at the Officers club and then the Essex House. I too had cancer but so far am doing well.
Best wishes to you and your family.

My mother, Jayne Smith, was Duane's first cousin and though I didn't see him often over the years the occasions on which I did -- Pettibon family reunions usually -- were memorable. He was warm, easy to talk to, interesting and interested in the lives of others and the issues of the day. My condolences to his family and all who knew and served with him.
