Robert Lee Cassady Jr.'s Obituary
FLORIST NOTE: PLEASE DELIVER ALL ARRANGEMENTS BY 10AM MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2019 TO OUR LEWES LOCATION.
Robert Lee Cassady, Jr. passed away peacefully in his home on December 26. He was 72.
Bob was a well-loved father, grandfather, brother, educator, and coach. After growing up in Tyrone, Pennsylvania and graduating from nearby Lock Haven University, he moved to Lewes to teach at the beach. He taught English and coached football, baseball, softball, and girls' basketball at Cape Henlopen for over 20 years, before moving to Polytech High School to continue his career as a coach, teacher, and administrator. His favorite career achievement was winning Delaware's first state basketball tournament in 1973. His fondest memories were coaching--especially his sons in baseball and basketball.
He is survived by his sons Ben (Liz) of Bethesda, MD, and Sam of Augusta, GA; his granddaughters Emmy and Izzy, his stepmother Lois Cassady; his sister, Sue Gates; his friend, Anna LaMartina; and several nieces and nephews.
