25 September 1960 - LAC JA "Jim" Cass

Comments by Michael Joel:

Jim Cass was stationed at 1 Wing Marville France at the time of his death. He was injured in a car accident late Saturday night-early Sunday morning on the way home. As I recall, a local either ran a yield sign or a stop sign and hit Jim's car head-on. Jim survived the inital impact of the accident but he died shortly after the accident. I was a Marville Brat - 15 years old at the time. I used to play ball with and against Jim. He was a great ball player and an even finer person.
