The thing I remember about Casey was a 'road rally' he and several of his Principal friends organized too many years ago. His unique sense of humor was written all over the many miles I spent laughing at the clues they formulated and left for us to find and follow. I was saddened at hearing of his fight and final submission to his condition. My thoughts and prayers to his surviving family and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear that Casey lost his battle to this debilitating condition. During the days at PFG he was so vibrant and charismatic, its hard to imagine that he is gone. He will be greatly missed.

Casey was a wonderful person and unique individual and he will be missed very much. I worked with Casey for 16 years at Principal Financial Group. He was a dear friend and did so much for others. He never thought of himself, just what he could do to make others happy. I have to say he sure was creative and artistic and shared his talents with all of us! He loved his family dearly and talked about all of you often. I am so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Debbie Latham
