Casey was a year behind me at Mt.Rainier High School. We did not run in the same circles then...he was way too cool for me. :-) However, we definitely ran in the same circles in Yelm...fellow workers and brother & sister in Christ! Casey loved teasing and remembering aspects of the days of our youth in Des Moines. He called us fellow DesMoiniacs! He was a good friend and an amazing man of God! I am privileged to have known him and look forward to a great reunion in heaven!

I got the most amazing privilege of helping care for Mr. Buck during his time at Bonaventure. He has left an everlasting impression on me. He is the most kind hearted person I have meet, he always had a way of making me laugh . Always cracking jokes or making faces at me. You are missed dearly, but until we meet again Mr. Buck!
