Dear Tim, Roz and Shannon,

On this day each year I am reminded of Casey's service to his country in WWII. His legacy is our link to the past and reminder of just how much good one person can do when they dedicate their life to helping others and making positive difference in the world. He is truly one of the finest examples of the "Greatest Generation" and we will miss him.

Mr. Casey was my boss at my first "real" job, Bank of America, Riviera Village Branch #456...He was absolutely the nicest person I have ever known.. He loved his Enid so very much, and although I am extremely saddened by the loss of him (which I just heard about today..I live in Texas now), I feel elated at the thought of them being united again..He will always remain in my fondest memories..Tim and family, I am so very sorry for your loss..

Thinking of Dad...remembering the joy he always found in life. Thanks to all of you, family and friends, for your kind and supportive guest book entries. We will be planning an open house at his home (of 58 years) soon. We will keep you posted.

I'm sorry to hear about Richard's passing. I'm glad i got to meet him and it was very enjoyable having him come back every year for the holidays.

Dear Uncle Tim, Aunt Roz and Shannon,
I'm very sad to hear that Casey passed away. It is comforting to know that he is in a better place, filled with wonderful people just like him. I remember how he would always ask about my adventures at sea, and share some of his experiences from World War II. Just one more example of how his caring and kindness touched so many lives.

With smiles, laughter, and love forever in our hearts and happy memories.

To the Casey Family,

It was a true pleasure and honor knowing and working alongside Richard. His volunteer work with the South Bay Auxiliary and Beach CIties Health District was commendable. He contributed over 6,500 hours of time to those in need, and we will never forget his commitment and passion to serve his community. We will miss him terribly. Sincerely, Megan Vixie, BCHD Volunteer Services Manager
