Uncle John, Aunt Pat, Kevin and Kathleen. I'm so saddened by the news of Casey's passing but at the same time so thankful for having all of the fond memories that he has left us. He's such a great guy and I will always smile when I think of him! Please know that you are in my prayers as I won't be able to attend the service. I'll always remember "Racoonfest" as one the the best times of my life especially at the campground. I'm smiling right now. I love you guys!!! Dennis

Dear Dora and John: I have read with great sadness of the passing of your son, Kerrick. I send love and caring to you both and will light a candle at church today. May God keep you safe and comfort you forever. Marianne T.

One, I am struck by the irony that I was drawn to the HT today where I was stunned to read of Casey's passing. Neither do subscribe to the paper, nor do I read it even monthly. Seeing his name, the refrain of a once popular song, "So Long Frank Lloyd Wright" immediately came to my mind. For 2 reasons - One, Tuesday I had sought the lyrics on line in an email which that day prompted me to recall my earliest days in my profession and when I became acquainted with Casey -"I never laughed so long, so long..." And, no,I never changed his point of view and it was I who became the architect - still my eyes are not dry & I stop a while to think of you. Dominus vobiscum et dona nobis pacem. Toujours Hoosier,

President Ryan and Pat -- I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. Even though it may not seem so right now, just know that God will help you get through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sharon

Fond memories of Casey. Being at the same bus stop in High School. Seeing him in plays at school. His good nature made our days light.

Dear Uncle John, Aunt Pat, Kathy and Kevin, I was shocked to hear of KC's passing. I have many fond memories of his musical talent, his ability to entertain people and of course, his love of all things Irish! I wish I could have attended his service so I could hug each of you and offer my deepest sympathy on your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you adjust to a new reality in the coming weeks and months. You are also included in several prayer chains here in Des Moines who are praying for your comfort. Love, Joan

Dr. and Mrs. Ryan, Please accept my small note wishing peace and grace for you at a time of loss. My best to you and the entire family. Most Sincerely, Eddie K.

Dear Pat and John, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Casey. I was looking for the passing of Jim and Mike Crowe and noticed that Casey was gone. I'm also sorry I have not kept in contact with you but some things in my past are too painful to remember, so I escaped back to my hometown in WV where I'm very active and happy. You will always remain among my dearest friend. Love, Kathy Orescanin
