Neighborhood Warrior: Mr. Casey

Mr. Casey keeping the streets clean and tidy

It may be 7am, it may be dark, and it may even be cold but that will not deter Mr. Casey from his objective -keeping the streets of Newcomb, Oakwood, and Orange in tip-top shape.  Almost daily Mr. Casey rakes leaves, picks up trash, mows lawns, edges sidewalk strips, etc. just because he believes in the success (and cleanliness) of our neighborhood.  He is the epitome of the "neighborhood warrior" concept and having lived in the neighborhood for over 30 years he has seen and heard a little bit of it all. He works quietly and diligently, always ready with a bright smile and a "How ya doin?" Mr. Casey is just one of the many reasons why I love coming home.

We all owe a debt to Mr. Casey and the many other "Mr. Caseys" out there who work hard every single day, most often with no pay or any acknowledgment - just because they believe.

We salute you.
