Casey lived in New York for several years and worked as a financial analyst. He met his wife while on Cape Cod and relocated to Massachusetts, where he worked for Fidelity Investments.

An avid sports enthusiast, Casey was a “die-hard” Detroit Tigers and Red Wings fan. His passion was golf and you could always find him on the putting green.

Casey was a charter member at Kings Way Golf Club, where he was the nine time Men’s Club Champion and he holds the course record.

His creative talent surfaced in his artwork and music. He loved all kinds of music and you could always hear him singing his favorite songs.

Casey volunteered at the V.A. Hospital in West Roxbury and for the Y-D Red Sox.

His wit and generous instructions on the golf course will be among my fond memories of Casey.
