FLOWN WEST: Paul Casey

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of one of our longtime and early members, Paul Casey, grandson of John Casey, the first airport manager of Midway.

Paul was a warm and welcome presence at our meetings, generously sharing his knowledge of MDW’s history, much of it drawn from his grandfather’s remarkable collection of memorabilia. His stories, insights, and friendship enriched our group in countless ways, and his absence will be profoundly felt.

We were recently informed by his wife, Michele, that Paul was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May and passed away on July 29. Services have already been held.
​
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Michele and the entire Casey family. Paul’s memory and contributions will remain a lasting part of our community.

Blue skies and tailwinds Paul.
