(Bill) Casserly, 77, Hayden, passed away Dec. 14, 2005, at Kootenai Medical Center. He was born Dec. 1, 1928, in Chicago, and was the son of Emma and Hugh Casserly. After attending high school, Bill entered the Marine Corps in 1946 and served until 1968. A veteran of World War II and both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, he received many service awards, including the Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Korean Service Medal, World War II Victory Medal, and the Rifle Sharpshooter award. After retiring from the Marine Corps, Bill was employed in management with the Camp Pendleton Bowling Center in California and at Durango Bowl in Colorado. At the time of his death, he was employed with Triple Play in Hayden. With his warm, outgoing personality, Bill made friends wherever he went. He enjoyed golf, fishing, woodworking, and was an avid bowler. He especially enjoyed spending time with family and friends, and his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren brought him great joy. Bill is survived by his wife and love of his life, Alma; mother Emma, Chicago; daughters, Sheron Baker, Henderson, Colo., and Patricia Giles, Brighton, Colo.; son and daughter-in-law, Kevin and Debbie, Temecula, Calif.; stepsons and daughters-in-law, David and June Fish, Larry and Mary Fish, all of Worley. He was blessed with 16 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Bill will be greatly missed by all who knew him, but we rejoice in knowing he committed his life to his Savior, Jesus Christ, on Dec. 6, 2005, and that he is enjoying his eternal reward.
