Not sure what to say?

Just saw this post. Bob was a classmate of mine at Augusta Tilghman HS in Paducah, KY. I remember him will as being a class leader and all around good person. I kept up with his career through the efforts of Sara Fuller, who through the years has kept us in touch. Out of 157 graduates there are 22 believed be still living. We grew up in depression and then war. We called ourselves the "Unique 49ers" and I believe we were!

Your need for public service drove others to be better people. Thank you for everything you did. Especially allowing a young community college student to come in and intern with you to the point that he did so many internship he felt like he was part of the permanent staff.. It was nice to work a great people

I was honored to have run against Bob in 1994 for State Representative. He was an absolute gentleman and we both committed to "clean" campaigning. Obviously, he won. We became friends during the campaign and remained so for years. He was a one-of-a-kind politician. We need MANY MORE like him!

Dr. Casey was my childhood physician. I remember him fondly as he was always friendly and made me feel at ease. Bless you Sir.

Thank you all for sharing your kind words and remembrances of Dad. It is nice to hear from friends of long ago as well as learn of the lives Dad touch that I never met. He is missed by us all!

Had the opportunity to serve in his office as an legislative intern in the mid 90's. To this day I use him an example of what a "Statesman" is and what a great functioning body the Florida House was. I can truly thank him for giving me faith in the system because he showed us the system could work.

Condolences to the family. Bob was a warm and caring physician, who was always ready at the phone if I needed direction for his patients as a paramedic. We always spoke at Publix or the Fitness Center about local political concerns.

Representative Casey was a nice man I was a page in the Florida Senate and he was very kind to me I will miss kindness he broke things down as a I was a young man

Dr. Casey was Jack's doctor and was always so friendly and caring. We were fellow church members at Parkview. We always respected his quiet and respectful demeanor. The family will miss this great man!
