Hello Family;

Thinking of you all and know how hard it is now. Uncle Charles was a great family man and a wonderful person. I remember growing up with Uncle Charles and he was always a gentleman. Niece Dorothy Willis

God bless you, Mr. Casey, as well as all your family and friends.

I will certainly miss you and your friendly demeanor. You always took the time for friendly chit-chat or a story of the 'good old days' whenever we would meet. I enjoyed being your next-door neighbor.

May you rest in eternal peace.

~with love and care,
and thought and prayer~

Respectfully yours,
