Linda and Ralph...and to ALL the family...
here's a synopsis of Cass' obit thast i put in our 101st Chapter's newsletter that just went out over the weekend.
Very sad news to report. One of our beloved Chapter members, “Cass” Costroff, passed to God on July 7th. He was a veteran of World War II, serving with the 101st Airborne Division in Holland and the Bulge. He received a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. His first name was Merion, and he was born in Philadelphia, PA, but had lived in Hurffville, NJ for 57 years. He loved animals, especially feeding the ducks at Atkinson Park near his home every day. Cass was a great jokester and would usually end each tale or joke with his classic line...“and that’s a true story”…!! Cass, our Airborne brother…you’ve earned your eternal rest with God, and your wonderful wife, Rose. We will ALL miss you, Cass,…and that is.. a true story..!!!
