Joseph A. "Pop" Casale

Sue, Marianne and Joe,
Growing up on Lake Street many years ago and connecting with your parents in various ways I considered it an honor to get to know them as they were wonderful people from my perspective. Very respectful and kind. Your Dad always gave me a wave when I jogged past your house to the trail around mirror lake. May your memories of them always be a treasure.

My sorrow and condolences for your loss.

Marianne, Sue, and Joe..We are so saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. He was so loved at HMB by so many people. He always had an entire community around him! I will miss our talks on his porch, rides in his cart around the park and greeting him on his boat. He loved his family with all his heart as well as his friends. May he rest in peace and may your many memories of your Dad give you peace as well. Fondly, Kathy and Bill Lancaster

Marianne, Sue and Joe,
There are no words heartfelt enough to express how sorry we are about the passing of your dad. He was a beautiful sole with the kindest heart.

Hold on to the many cherished memories you have and let them help you through this very difficult time. One thing is for...

Marianne, Sue and Joe...

Pop was an hero for his children and grandchildren. How he missed Fran (as we all did). He was a man of integrity and always made us all individually feel like we were special to him. To Joseph Jr, Mar, Sue, Ben and Haley (and all his beautiful grandchildren), my heart hurts when I heard of his passing. On the other hand, being reunited to Fran made his passing complete for Joe. Even though he no longer is physically in the present, no one can remove the treasure chest in our hearts of...

Sue, Marianne, Joe, and family, my sincere condolences. Your dad was not only my Deputy Chief when I started in the HFD, he was my mentor, but more importantly he was my friend. I’m sorry that I won’t be there to see you and pay my respects for Joe’s last alarm. I’ll never forget the man I called Chief and you called Pop!

Mare and family, so sorry for the loss of your”pop”. He was a kind and loving person who looked after his family love and prayers
