"Tim Caskey was an energetic leader who set a positive example for us kids in his AWANA groups 40+ years ago. My siblings, Karen, Kenneth, Kelvin, and Kerry and parents Wendel and Marilyn remember fondly the special evenings Tim and Gladys would invite our equally large family over for refreshments after church. This made us feel a special bond with the family. And we admired Tim's art ability as well. God bless each and every one of the family. We remember you and love you. Kent (Butch) Anderson"

"Tim was always Mr Caskey to me when I knew him back in the 1970's. I was a brand new Christian at Westwood Baptist Church/Harvey Oaks Baptist Church. He was a great example of a man who loved the Word of God!"
