Yes I wont cry that he is gone I am thankful that he was here

Dottie and Family, Our sincere condolences to all for the loss of a Great Man. RIP Cousin. Paul Kane and Family.

We will not see his like again. But while that is our loss we can be comforted by knowing that John has sailed on to that place of peace and rest

Dottie, What a beautiful service. John would be so proud of you today. The love and strength you showed, the beautiful words shared of John's life and character, and your 'love story' touched me deeply. I am still wiping my tears... Thank you for sharing the true message for us all captured in that beautiful Dr Seuss quote: "Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened." I will forever hold that close to my heart. A big virtual hug to you Dottie. May you find peace & comfort in your memories.

I will miss you Uncle John. You were an amazing man and those trips up to Hull were always a pleasure. Growing up I always referred to you as my cool uncle. You gave me my first pocket knife and as an 8 year old that is the bees knees. I also still have that samurai sword in the corner of my room, one of my favorite things I have ever received. These are just things but they remind me of you and the memories that accompanied them. You were always a joy and such a life. I only wish in recent years I was able to spend more time with you but just know I love you very much and I am honored to still call you my cool uncle. RIP my man. Love you.

Dear Dottie My thoughts and prayers are with you always and this very difficult time. 💔💔💔💔Much Love Bobby

Dottie, I am so sorry...John was so blessed to have you in his corner all these years. May the memories of happier days bring you comfort and lift the sadness within. Sending you prayers of strength during this difficult time.

To my dear Daii John/aka "Most Favored Uncle", I love you and will miss you so much. You and Dottie were such a big part of my childhood--so many happy memories involve you two. You both were always looking out for us, taking care of us, being overly generous to us, teaching us, laughing with us, loving us. Omid and I always thought we had literally the coolest uncle and aunt in the whole world. You listened and cared about things that were important to us, while showing us all the things you loved and helping expand our horizons--whether it was hobbies, food, gardening... We had so much fun when you'd take us out for Chinese food and order pupu platters. Omid and I would devour them and probably barely left anything for you guys! I will always be grateful for you talking to Baba about me taking ballet lessons, convincing him to let me take them, and then even paying for those lessons. You knew how desperately I wanted to dance and you fought for me. I may not be a dancer today, but those lessons meant everything to me and you understood that. I remember when you gave me jewelry-making supplies, I thought it was so cool that my "bad ass" uncle who wore leather and rode motorcycles also knew how to make jewelry, and wanted to share that with me. I'll remember all our laughs together the most. Remember the time you bought Omid a new fishing pole and I accidentally cast it into the lake, then looked around not knowing what to do? You took it all in stride! (Sorry Omid!) I know the past few years were very hard for you both, and Daii John I hope that you are at peace now and riding a motorcycle around in Heaven somewhere, waiting for the rest of us to someday join you. Dottie, we are so grateful that Daii John was lucky enough to marry you. You are an amazing woman and a wonderful aunt, and we love you so much. I love you both. Love always, Angela, Tony, Navid, and Mia

Dottie and family, sorry to hear of your loss. Matt Foster - Friend of Charlie from way back when, Jim K, Dennis C, Jack F crowd.

Dottie, we are very sorry for your loss and are sending love and prayers to you and the entire Cassidy family.

John Cassidy, or Daii John to many of us, had a heart of gold and a sense of humor that everyone could appreciate. When I was a kid he'd play karate with me and teach me all the "macho things a man would do." He gave me my first pocket knife and passed down the importance of always having one on you. He introduced me to action movies like Rambo and Deer Hunter. He taught me military history and shared his passion for collecting with me. One of my most favorite memories of Daii John are when I went to spend a few days with him and Dottie in the summer. He took me to just about every harbor and port in Hull to fish over the course of two days because he wanted to make sure I caught my first fish. Everywhere we went Daii John knew someone or he'd strike up a conversation with some stranger. We went to probably a dozen or more places... didn't catch a single fish... but we did catch a crab and we just laughed uncontrollably. I'm 36 now, still collect knives, still love classic action movies, and still carry a pocket knife every day. You were and always will be a very big part of my life Daii John and I will miss you so so very much. Dottie, I cannot even begin to fathom what you are going through. I am so sorry for your loss. You are as big a part of my life as Daii John is and I am so grateful for you and all the love and care you provided him. All my love to you.

Dottie, we are very sorry for your loss and are sending love and prayers to you and the entire Cassidy family.

John was an awesome brother in law and a caring friend. In early part of my life in America and with the Cassidy family, John coached me often how things worked in the US. I will never forget my induction to the Cassidy family. John introduced me to Irish custom and Irish whisky. His sense of humor is unforgettable. Dottie, you truly are an angel to care for him during all these years of illness. He is at peace now without pain and suffering. I will never forget him. Thank You

Please accept my condolences. I'm so sorry for you all's loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, including the Meradji's because I know how much he meant to them all.

Dottie, we will miss John. Ahmad and I know the love it took for you to help John transition and that love gave him the strength he needed. I will greatly miss our long phone conversations about family and business. He gave me wonderful advice and had such interesting stories to explain his reasoning. He truly cared and was interested in all aspects of my life and family. He was my first thought when I awoke today when I recalled our conversations. I miss him.

Goodbye Brother, you were gone too soon. Joe
