Cassidy Family,
Your dad will be missed and fondly remembered, as we will share many of our father’s stories of their time spent together in Philly and at Lakehurst. We will miss the talks we had on the Eagles, Phillies, catapults, arresting gear, and travels across the world in support of the US Navy and the Department of Defense. Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of the one and only “Ace of the Base”.
