    So sorry to hear about Casey. I have fond memories of playing in his polka band. He was such a character. Sincere condolences to Nora, Jim, Rosanne, Kathy, Eugene and families.

    I remember the visits to Uncle Casey’s house were always full of fun and music. I learned to dance the polka at his house. We will miss him.

    Dear Uncle Casey,I will really miss this man,one of the most cheerful and happy person I’ve ever known,one of the great joke tellers of all time. I remember as a child going over to the house for numerous parties,and always loved when my two Uncle Caseys would play.He gave me work when times were bad.I always felt close to this family.May God love and protect you all.
