Cass may have passed from this earthly bullshit, but his wisdom, shared here, Will provide positive guidance for generations of Americans. His humility, humor and positive mental attitude should be emulated by us all.

Rest easy, sir. You are missed.

Cass,

You always kept me straight and I deeply appreciated your Wisdom. You were the Frogman I always wanted to be.

Rest Peacefully, You are my hero.

RIP Sailor.

You will be missed.

Ken did some "off books" vetting of SEALs, upon my behest, after he retired from vetting on this site. He was always spot on.

I hope you and Andy are having a big time.

Yeah, I felt a little off kilter when he handed me the torch as a keeper of the BUD/S list when he decided to retire from phony checking. His mentor ship guided my responses with a no emotion factual answer. You either graduated from BUD/S or you didn't. Period. Ken, I keep the torch lit for not only you but for all of us. Hoo Yah Navy Frogman!
