I just found out about Mr. Cassidy's passing away. I worked for him for about 6 years as his parts manager in the late 80's and early 90's in the service department. He always treated his employees with sincere respect and I will always remember his smile he always had. My condolences goes out to all of the Cassidy family. He was a great man.

Our condolences to Mercedes, the children and grandchildren. May God comfort you and give you His peace. What a precious man was Jack Cassidy. Praise God for the joy and kindness he poured out on all who knew him, and even on people who never met him but were the beneficiaries of his loving heart and willingness to give to others. What wonderful memories we shall always have of the Growing Together Dinner/Dance Auctions - hard work for a worthy cause and Mercedes amazing ability to accomplish miracles. We will be praying for you all at this time of sorrow.

Querida Mercedes,
En estos momentos dificiles le quiero expresar mi mas sentido pesame y dejarle saber que voy a extrañar mucho las conversaciones que tuve con Jack. El fue una persona muy agradable y especial para nosotros, como igual lo es usted. El y todos Uds. estaran en mis oraciones, y acuerdese que ahora Jack esta mejor que nosotros, y que ya descansa en la gloria de Dios. Le mando un beso y un abrazo y que Dios la bendiga siempre a Ud. y a su familia.

"Será el Señor tu luz eterna, y llegarán a su fin tus días de duelo."
