Dominic “Nick” Charles Cascio, of Beaver, passed away Tuesday, January 2, 2018, in Providence Health Care in Beaver Falls.

I am in Floria and therefor will miss the funeral of a lifetime friend Nick Cascio. He was a part of a group of Class of 1945 members who met regularly to share memories. We all agreed that Nick ability to recall childhood memories surpassed us all. I worked with Nick at Bob Stout Garage and Nick felt very close to my dad and my family.He will be truly missed by many, including me. Eleanor Stout Courtney

Coach Cascio was a great coach, and a beautiful individual. He touched my life at an early age, and his lessons live on in me and thousands of others. RIP Coach.

coach cascio as all the kids from ejh knew him was loved by all and so respected. coach gave the not so gifted athlete many chances to fit in without being laughed at or teased “God forbid if you did that ” you won’t find anyone that can ridicule coach c … he was a father, brother, best friend and just a terrific guy. i feel privileged that for the last 25 years or so coach cascio and some of my best friends would gather at my home and reminisce. Coach c had a memory of all his kids and where they grew up, we loved you Coach and you’ll never be forgotten.
