Kingston, Massachusetts—It is with heavy hearts and profound respect that SMART honors the life and legacy of Brother George Casey, who passed away on Saturday, March 1, at the age of 74.
A service to honor his memory is scheduled for this Thursday, March 6 from 1-3 p.m. at Bartlett Funeral Home, which is located at 338 Court Street in Plymouth, MA. All are welcome to attend.
He worked for Amtrak for 50 years. Brother Casey was a member of Local 1473, the former New England Safety and Legislative Director, and the former General Chairperson of GCA 081. His loss will be felt by all who worked with him.
“George did a lot getting the UTU and SMART where we are today,” said SMART-TD’s current New England Safety and Legislative Director Dave Stevenson. “Whenever I go to meetings, the first thing I mention is George’s name and everybody knows him. Having the same position that he did has helped to open many doors for me, and I know how much he did for us over the years.”
Brother Casey was a proud graduate of Boston College and a die-hard fan of all Boston sports. He also enjoyed traveling and was never a stranger on local golf courses, especially on his beloved Martha’s Vineyard.
We extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to Brother Casey’s family and his Union family at Local 1473. Most importantly, we want to express our gratitude for the powerful impression that Brother Casey left on both working families in New England and our union.
