HARTFORD – Patrick Joseph “Bubby” Casey On December 18, 2020 the world unexpectedly lost an icon, one of the last remaining patriarchs of the Casey clan, Patrick Joseph Casey. He is now breathing easy in the arms of our Lord and happily reunited in heaven with those he loved, who surely toasted him on his arrival in heaven.

Patrick, known his whole life as Bubby, was born the youngest ofeight on March 15, 1940 to the late Patrick and Helen (Burke) Casey. He wasborn in the original family farmhouse in Jenkinsville and raised on the familyfarm in Kingsbury.

It was there he developed his incredible work ethic, love forfamily, and his faith – not to mention his muscles! His siblings were his bestfriends, and they shared an unshakeable bond throughout their lifetimes. Thatbond was a great blessing to his children, as well as his nieces and nephewswho all adored “Uncle Bubba”. Everyone loved him for his joyful spirit and thecharismatic bundle of Irish joy he was when he entered a room. His life’smission was to show everyone he met how to love life and live it to thefullest.

He married Ruth Ann Beecher on July 13,1963. Together they hadthree children-his greatest accomplishments. Tim, Patti Jo and Kelli Red. Heloved them all deeply and bragged about them to all who would listen, as theywere all a great source of pride for him.

On October 27, 1979, he married his soulmate Kathy Baker, ofHartford, NY. They celebrated 25 yearsof marriage together. He was so very grateful for the blessings that Kathybrought to his life and often referred to her as “his bride”, and after herdeath in 2004, he continued to miss her dearly.

With farming in his veins from an early age, Bubby began hisworking life as a self-employed dairy farmer after graduating from Hudson FallsHigh School in 1957. He was always grateful to his father for giving him hisstart in farming, with the gifting of 12 cows that materialized one day in hisfield. He spent his whole life in Washington County, New York with his firstfarm being in Argyle in 1968 and his next successful farm starting in 1973 inHartford. After retiring from severalyears of farming, Bubby worked as a union roofer with Monahan and Loughlin. Andnever one to sit still, he began a side hustle in retirement as a real estateentrepreneur with his second wife, Kathy. His next move would be near “thepond” on Hulett Road in Granville, where he built a beautiful home for “hisbride” and lived happily for 18 years next to his brother-in-law Rick Baker. Hewas Bubby’s best friend, and it was a mutual admiration society of brotherlylove. Years ago, he moved on to Adamsville, where he lived until hispassing.

In the early days you would catch Bub enjoying the outdoors on asnowmobile, in the woods hunting or on the water, smelt fishing. He lovedtaking his Case 930 to the Washington County Fair to the tractor pulls, and itwas said that there wasn’t a better haggler in NYS when it came time to gettinga good deal at an auction. Wit and charm were always at play, with hissignature buzz cut above those twinkling eyes, and the booming, contagiouslaugh allowed men to not feel too badly that they just gave him the deal of thecentury! Because now they were friends.

Larger than life. Legendary. A true original. One of a kind.Strong spirited. One of the good ones. A classic. A Hartford icon. One in amillion. All phrases used to describe a man who was known from the Canadianborder to New York City. If you measuredfriendship by the number of times someone passed his home with a friendly beepthen Bubby had too many friends to count!

You could often find Bubby holding court at one of his twofavorite watering holes- The Hartford Tavern and the Wayside Inn. Whether itwas darts, cards, horseshoes or pool- he enjoyed the friendly competition withhis friends, while tipping back a cold one. And could he ever cut a rug. He wasall about entertaining anyone who was near with hilarious stories- or antics.No one will ever forget the time he brought a pet chicken into the bar and betfor beers that he could hypnotize the chicken – which he successfully did tothe amazement of onlookers, who left with empty pockets!

Second only to his love for his children and grandchildren, washis love for his surviving sibling, Monica, and maybe more importantly,anything she baked for him. In best-friend fashion, he once ate one of Monica’spies in its entirety, just because he didn’t want what was left behind to belonely! And he sure didn’t want to hurt her feelings. From their time in themilking parlor as kids, all those years ago, began a “best-friendship” of 80years.

He had travelled to his homeland of Ireland, Alaska and otherparts of the United States, but hands down his greatest “time off” was spendingtime with his extended Casey family:Summer days swimming at the “Big Camp” on Hadlock Pond, playingfootball, baseball, and basketball with all the kids, Christmas Eve Massfollowed by a gift exchange at the Casey farm, and a Memorial Day party onMonument Avenue in downtown Glens Falls with a greased pig for the kids to tryand catch – a favorite memory of Bub’s children, nieces and nephews!

There will never be another Bubby. They broke the mold when hebusted on the scene 80 years ago. He wasconvinced he would never reach the age of 57. He stared down every health issuehe faced with an amazing positive attitude until he was ultimately calledhome. While our lives are a bit dimmerdown here now, heaven is all lit up. The tears of grief here, pale incomparison to the shouts of joy when he stepped through the curtain in heaven,exclaiming “He’s home! He’s home!”

Simply put- Bubby Casey was unforgettable. At his request, hewished to leave his friends and family with one final sentiment: “findthe humor in life and enjoy the little things”.

In addition to his parents and his wife, Bubby was predeceasedby his brother, Thomas Casey, his sisters, Helen McCauley, Patricia Brummagyn,Mary Rose Legault, Bernadette Mulcahy and Ann DePalo.

Bubby will live on forever in the hearts and memories of hisfamily; sister, Monica Eastman; son, Timothy Patrick (Colleen) Casey ofHartford; daughters: Patricia Jo (Joe) Tennyson of Chestertown and Kelli JeanCasey (Matthew Rich) of Fort Ann.grandchildren: Chanleigh Casey, Kayla Casey, Lucas Casey, Dean (Taylor)Sherman and Lexi Herrick (Brady Rainville); as well as great-grandchildren:Bentley, Killian, Madeline and Cole; as well as many nieces, nephews andcousins. Bubby is also survived by hisloving companion of recent years, Kathy Berkheimer, who he adored.
