Uncle Frank was the most charismatic man I ever met, when we lived at Sneyd Green, Uncle Frank would visit in his robes and there seemed like it was the Lord Himself walking down the street, children just seemed to love him...He'd always got a smile for everyone!!...I remember one of many stories...When he worked at Lourdes in France, they said...oh Uncle Frank had to come home you know?...needed some treatment on his bad back!!!:) Memories of Tim Casey
An unforgettable moment for Chris
Casey (son of George & Iris) at Old Trafford 1976

Tom Burke was a very experienced Potter, his brother John Burke – known as ‘Jack’ worked at the Michelin Tyre Factory (later his brother ‘Tony Burke’ worked there). The incident happened during the 2nd World War. The battle to take Italy and specifically Rome. Tom entered the city from Sicily and Jack entered from Solerno using landing craft. The headlines in the papers were ‘Brothers Meet Up’. They met up by shear coincidence. I can’t imagine the emotions they both went through after all the warfare they had experienced and finally to meet up with your brother.
Albert Austin married Mary Casey, he was born with a hole in the heart and tragically died very young, but not before the arrival of Stephen, Catherine, Martin and Jane. Mary went on to marry Harry Swain. He can be described as a very tough guy; he was a prisoner of war in Poland forced to work in the Polish mines and when the prisoners were liberated, rather than wait for the liberating army to arrive he actually walked to the British lines. He had been a foreman during the construction of the Thames Flood Barrier and he also worked on big construction projects in Bahrain. Sadly Harry is no longer with us.
There was only one Christian Brother in the family, his name goes without saying, Brother Gregory, better known to all as Uncle Frank. A mention here goes to Anthony Casey, son of Reginald Casey, who trained in a novitiate for 4-5 yrs. to become a Roman Catholic Priest. He didn’t complete his training, his calling ultimately was for teaching.
