Casey was a close neighbor and we rode together with John and Edna Heck to William Penn High School. I could see his house and big side yard from my house and was always intrigued to see the Bostorf boys cut the grass (with push mowers in those days) as they had two boys mowing at the same time, in perfect timing, across the yard from each other. Rest in peace, Casey. My condolences to the family and friends. Sincerely, Joyce Oviatt Hamman Aiken, SC.
