Not sure what to say?

Casey was our my family mechanic it saddens me to know he’s gone...I grew up knowing Casey...I was 6 years old when we first met. Casey made me laugh he was a great guy...he had his shop built across the street then moved next door a few years later. He was part of Hollydale for a long long time. I remember my brother was stationed in Texas in 1974 he came home on leave and wanted to take his fastback mustang back with him to Texas...well it broke down on the way back to Texas So some how my...

Shawn and I want to express our deepest sympathy to the family for their loss.
I lived across the street from his shop and he was a second father to my son (and all the the kids)
He was never too busy to chat, lend a hand or offer assistance in any way he could.
He was genuine and kind and will be truly missed by all.

Casey took care of our cars for many years. We knew him as a kind and generous friend. He was always smiling and happy to help us, even when it was obvious that he was very busy. He was the only mechanic that we really trusted. We will miss him very much.

To the family, I am very sorry for your loss. Your dad was one of the most kindest and toughtful men I have ever met. My family and I have know him for many years. I saw everyday up until he got sick. Even then I would call him to see how he was doing at least once a week. He was always postive and always had something nice to say to me. I not only lost my mechanic I also lost a man who was like my second father. I am going to miss him soooo much. Heaven got a wonderful man !!!!

To the family I am sorry for your loss knowing Megan from work and for a few yrs now I can see from her he was a man of good and kind graces and a fine person. Robert

I learned of Casey through a family member and then directed everyone I knew his way for auto repairs. He was quite simply the most skilled, honest, and trustworthy mechanic I have ever encountered. My wife and I always enjoyed delivering Christmas cookies or candies to him, as he truly seemed to appreciate the gesture. The world has lost a good man. He will be greatly missed.

Knowing Casey for all these years has been my pleasure, not only was he a terrific mechanic which is hard to find , but Casey was a nice human being always there to lend a helping hand when you needed it, he will be truly missed.

I, like most people had known Casey for many many years. He first helped me as a fledgling waitress who always had used cars and he always kept them running. I was fortunate to live close to the garage and he was always there it seemed and always willing to help someone down on their luck. God Bless the family and for letting us know about his life away from his work.

Casey knew carborators and racing.

Lion's dragstrip stared some of his top performers in the 60's. Expecially VW's.
