I met Casey in October on Ft. Myers Beach at the Outrigger Hotel. My niece Tia Godin was friends with him in Detroit through Chivers...She introduced me to him at the hotel while on vacation. The moment i met Casey I knew he could light up a room and thats what he did at the Tikki bar. His smile was beauitful and full of life. We danced, took photo's laughed and had a blast!!!!! I attended his service and I must add how beautiful it was. I know he is in heaven and recieved his wings, because he was an Angel here on Earth and touched so many lives. God Bless the Craft family during this tragic time. Alison Godin xo

I know we will all see him again one day. I pray & I know the lord will comfort you during this time of your life, and always.
