It was only a short time we knew each other, but you stood out from the first time we met. Performing and recording with you was almost as much of an honor as hanging out with you in your home and meeting your wonderful family. I will keep your memory alive and well here in New York, and next time I get up to Maine I'll tip a glass your way as we dig into a couple lobsters...
Blessings to you and yours!

Your impact on this universe was larger than life for us girls back here in the USA.Even more for the peoples lives you touched&guided on your way to following your passion.
As my brother you were just that a brother. As a man you were all the spirits intended for you,blessing everyone with all you had to give,even when it was difficult your passion was carrying you on,that passion lives on always from lives we touch.
For alot of you who were such a large part of our brothers life I thank you for being his family. By blood or by choice you are now his connection to this universe.
Life took you miles away to grow&build your life.You reached your spiritual intension,the universe smiles on you as you join a new band of angles.ROCK ON!! Brother Dear.
Peace&Love Libby

Words mean little and do even less. I hope that the memories of Casey help to light this dark time.

Sending all my love to Casey' family and friends.

My mentor, my sempai who brought me to my inner songwriter has left the building after a way too long battle with cancer. Casey fought the good fight as only a New York Tokyo survivor could. He will be missed by all of us who knew him, either personally or through his music.

As a tribute to Casey, I've reposted a blog from July of 2007 just after he came home from a major cancer operation.

I'm sure he's making Musician's Heaven a lot more interesting than it already is.

I miss you, my friend. I am so very grateful for your presence in my life, and for the musical and personal encouragement you were in your time with us Here. You helped me with the BEST voiceover demo ever, and my heart is so full of joy, although I will miss you something awful. Wine, pizza and life story exchanges....priceless.
