I don't know how to go to the Courthouse any more, it won't be the same...Cass was just always so friendly with everyone.
Cass was the kind of person who would reach over and grab your bag so you didn't have to go around to get it.
Patsy, I didn't even know he your guy; but you may the two nicest people at the courthouse!
We will all miss him.

Patsy and Family - Cass will be missed by so many people. The courthouse will never be the same without him. He loved his family, and everyone knew it. It was a blessing and a pleasure to have known him. Patsy, your courthouse family and friends are here for you for whatever you need. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss.

My sincerest sympathies to all who loved Cass. I am an employee of the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy and witnessed the tremedous outpouring of assistance that was given to your loved one after his physical testing yesterday. You can be assured that everything humanly possible was done to help him to no avail. His passing, I know is a shock to your family as well as to all of our staff.
