I am saddened to report the death of our Classmate, Cyrus C. Cassells, Jr., on 2 January 1999 at his home in Escondido, CA. Cy died from lung cancer. His funeral and a memorial service, attended by several Classmates, were held on Saturday, 9 January. With him at the time of his passing were his wife, Isabel, and their three sons, Cyrus III, of Texas, and Kevin and Robert of Los Angeles. Cy separated from the USAF in 1967 and went almost immediately to work with NASA, with whom he remained until his retirement. For the past several years he had been a principal docent at the San Diego Aerospace Museum. His Company mates from I-1 and the entire Class will miss this most singular and gracious gentleman. Be Thou at Peace, Well Done. Chuck Roades Scribe |
