Subject: [leadership] passing of Frank Casey, W2JIO (SK)
Many of you who attend ACB national conventions know Kathy and Frank
Casey.
It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the passing of Frank
earlier
today. It is a sad day here in New York. Our thoughts are with Kathy
during
this most difficult time. ALBANY- Francis R. "Frank" Casey, 62, died
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at Samaritan Hospital. Born in Albany, NY
he was
son of the late Thomas and Agnes (Thornton) Casey. He was a graduate
of the
New York Institute for the Education of the Blind, in the Bronx, NY.
Mr. Casey worked for the Albany County Sheriffs' Department for 32
years,
retiring as a 911 Supervisor in 2001. He was President of the Capital
District Chapter of the American Council of the Blind. He enjoyed
amateur
radio "W2JIO", was an avid fan of the New York Mets and was a weather
buff.
Husband of 25 years of Kathy (Wilkens) Casey of Albany; brother of
Thomas
"Sonny" (Dorothy) Casey of Bohemia, NY, Mary (Charles) Fullam of NJ
and the
late Patricia Burns; uncle of Nicole Hornsby, James and Timothy Burns;
also
survived by several grand nieces and nephews and cousins.
