Case Man, boy did we have some good times. Got some good work done too. 
     I never met his family. I’m sure they are good people as he was the salt of the earth. I met Ed in New York, continued our acquaintance in Cuba and saw him last at my house about 5 years ago. 
     Ed was never down, always humorous and quite an adapter.  I miss his emails and phone calls already. Whenever I think of Ed a smile comes to my face, my eyes twinkle and I know heaven is better off with him in it.
     God bless Ed’s family. I miss his presence greatly.
     



I want to extend my deepest sympathy to the family of Ed Casey.  Serving with Ed starting in 1984,  was a great experience for myself  and the members of the FBI New  York Office, Special Operations Squad #1.   Ed was a dedicated, enthusiastic,  and resourceful Special Agent who was cool under pressure.    We could all depend on Ed to get the job done no matter what the danger was.  Knowing the fine caliber on Ed's character., he will truly be missed.  Ed left a legacy that  his family can be extremely  proud of.

Ed Casey was one of the good guys.  Always hard working, always dependable, and always a friend to everyone.  I am sorry to have just heard of his passing.  Ed Casey made the world a better place, and we shall all miss him.  God Bless this Warrior and God Bless all of his family.

My sincere condolences to the entire Casey Family. Ed was one of the nicest persons I have ever met. He was always so “ present “ and calm. 

May the Lord Bless you and keep you and shine his face upon you…for a Thousand Years … and on His Children, and their Children, and their Children and their Children’ Children. 

Pat Broadus. St .Bernard Class of 1970. 

I met Ed Casey in 1966 at St. Bernard College, we immediately share the Irish wit, among many other Irish activities.  Ed always had that special Irish charm, and brought many smiles to all our faces. After college, like many of us, we went our separate ways, mainly due to Military obligations, marriages and life events. Ed and I reconnected many years ago and its hard to describe how happy I was to hear from him.  I was beyond sadden and shock when our mutual friend Ray called Sunday and told me of his sudden passing. It is often said the good die young, and indeed it cannot be more true here with Ed leaving us. The great memories  however of Ed will always be with us..  Truly a great man. 

Ed was my cousin, but he was a few years older than me and we both left the Philly area for the south many decades ago. Reading the memories from his friends revealed a remarkable man who I wished I would have known better.  Obviously, he touched the lives  of many. My family’s thoughts and prayers are with his wife, daughters and grandchildren  at this difficult time. 

I was in Vietnam with Ed. We were both in the 196th light infantry brigade together and both did field combat duty. Later on during out tour of duty we both were placed in the Mortar squad where Ed was the plotter and I was in charge of the Mortar squad. Ed always was in a happy good mood no matter what we were going through.  We both came home together on the same plane. He will always be in my thoughts he was a true Brother and will leave a empty hole in my heart. We will meet again Brother.  I was more than blessed to know Ed.

Ed and Bev were the first people I met when we moved next door 25 years ago. Ed was a good neighbor, friendly and helpful to a fault and a good, humourous, kind hearted man. He will be misssed.

Bev & girls.
My deepest sympathy to you all. Broke my heart to hear about Ed passing.   Reading today his memories posted from his friends & coworkers confirms he was not the average happy go lucky guy, but an Extraordinary & Caring Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother & Friend to many.  
I knew the Casey family through Ed & Bev"s daughter Alicia.  Our girls grew up together since 1st grade.  The girls were always  playing practical jokes & pranks on Ed (& Bev).  I witnessed many hilarious videos & Ed would always have that shock & awe  & then flash that Beautiful Smile he had.    As friendly & funny as he could be, he was never bothered when you asked him about his wood working projects (Kitchen) or how things worked with the FBI.  You could tell he loved his job, his woodworking hobby but most of all his FAMILY.  I call it "Ed's house of girls".   My fondest memory of Ed will be my last encounter with him  this past summer.   I met up with Ed, Alicia, Nora, & my daughter, Erica & grandson. Ed was adding a brand new bike carrier to my daughters  bike so the girls could take their babies on a bike ride.   Ed quickly got his tools out & in a jiffy minute had the carrier on Erica's bike.  Then Alicia & Erica got the babies in the  bike carriers  & got all the ready to take off.   I'll admit I was a bit concerned for their safety at that time because of what was happening in the world..  Well the next thing I know as  I'm getting in my car & turn around,  there goes Ed on his bike right behind the girls waving bye to me!  No worries- he was there to protect!  Again what an EXTRAORDINARY man!
He seems to have touched so many & will be missed by all. But I have comfort & share with Bev & girls he was always looking out for you all & nothing will stop him from doing that while he is with our Lord Jesus Chrit!!   He is a special man & in a very special place.
Love & prayers to you all.

Ed was a dedicated FBI Agent who was very talented at his job. He assisted me in several cases and was very professional and helpful. He was also a very funny guy who was great to be around. Ed was one of a kind and will be missed. Retired SA Gary Miller, Frankfort RA

Ed and I worked together in the FBI in the 1970s and 1980s,  primarily in joint Federal/local task forces.  Ed was well received by everyone he met; a kind, humble and generous soul.  It is extremely sad to hear of his unexpected passing.  May he Rest In Peace.

Ed and I were in  college together at St. Bernard .
 Ed reached out to me about 8 years ago and we have been communicating every few months about his life and my life after college and I enjoyed those moments. He was a great guy and a good friend.  

I first met Ed in 1979 when he arrived in Cincinnati. The letter C is not only for Ed’s last name of Casey but also for the word that may describe him best, Character. With his Irish wit and demeanor, you instantly became his friend. A man who could repair or build anything. Ed had a heart of gold and was devoted to his family. I will miss his smile, sense of humor, and most importantly, his friendship. We had a lot of fun and laughs. My sincere condolences to Bay and the Casey ladies. RIP, Ed!

     I knew Ed for thirty years, but heard stories about him for ten years before that.  A big, booming greeting, strong handshake, and a big smile.  If Ed told you something, he meant it and it was honest.
     I loved the time Ed chopped a pay phone off the wall of a mafia social club and threw it on his supervisor’s desk. 
     Or the time he tried to get rid of squirrels with explosives.
     Ed would help anybody at any time.  He will be missed by many people.


I enjoyed working with Ed in the Louisville FBI Office for many years. He was such a character! Ed will never be forgotten!

Dear Bay I am so sorry to hear about Ed’s passing. He was a wonderful person. He was so kind and helpful to me and my boys  when Frank died.  I’ve never forgotten that support, nor will I forget the laughter from him, Frank, Tom and Buzz  coming from my kitchen at 3:00 AM  telling stories while they were waiting for a court to come through!
 I will keep you and your family in my prayers 🙏🏻
Love Claire

I don't think I saw Ed after he left the Cincinnati FBI office, but after all that time I still remember Ed's  laughter, and his willingness to help anyone who needed help, day or night.  It's so wonderful to read from others that Ed never changed after all those years.

My deepest sympathy to Ed's passing and to his family.

Ed Boldt

I worked with Ed for nearly 20 years. He was a great friend, family man, and devoted Catholic. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do or try to do for his friends and for his work. Ed was a very talented and creative woodworker. He could design and build anything for his work and for his friends. Ed was a very comical guy who loved to laugh and make other people laugh. Ed met very few strangers. His Philly accent and his laugh were infectious. Ed would listen to me and offer advice. Most often he would say aww don't worry about it (in his colorful manner). It will all work out. He was right! He was my friend and I will miss him! R.I.P. Ed!

Ed was a dear friend and colleague for over40 years. He was one of the most talented and get it done guys I ever met. Always upbeat and most definitely family oriented. So many memories and everyone makes me smile. I salute you Ed for your service as an Army Viet Nam vet and I salute you for your distinguished career with the FBI. and I salute you for your devotion to your family. Our family’s deepest condolences to Bay and the girls.  Love- The McDevitts

Ed was a kind generous man who lived for his family.  He was guided by strong values, had many accomplishments but no ego.  He simply enjoyed helping others when he could.  He was the go to when I just needed a friend.  I will surely miss him.

Ed was a nice guy with a great sense of humor.  He will be missed dearly.  RIP Ed

Ed and I worked together back in the 70s and 80s.  I was a Cincinnati cop.  We had some great times and adventures.  Ed help me study to be an agent, but I could not get pass the spelling test.  To me Ed and the rest of the FBI and DEA AGENTS I had the pleasure to work with were the best of the best.  May Ed rip and I pray his family will be safe and know that to me Ed was the top of real policing.
This group of officers and agents were the start of task forces and how we all can work as one unit.  Pioneers so to speak.
