Years ago, I met Mr. and Mrs. Casula when they came in for a consultation at a law firm where I worked. I remember them as being sweet and very personable. Years later, I would sometimes see Mr. Casula over at Delaware Park; he was always smiling, even if he didn’t have a winning ticket.
I am very sorry for your loss.
