My Uncle Leon, one of mother's three brothers, died of a heart attack at age 65. His brother Raymond also died quite young (at 61) of a heart attack. Brother Frank lived the longest (to 86, as did his father, James William Cassell) other than my mother, Audrey Louise Cassell Roberts, who died at 93 and is buried with her husband, David Charles Roberts, in the Masonic cemetery in New Orleans, LA. Leon worked in the auto industry in Detroit but was also a skilled carpenter/woodworker like his father who is buried in the same Cassell plot here at Evergreen cemetery. His daughter Reggie (Lois Regina), who died at age 10, is also buried here. She was the daughter of Leon and his first wife, Rebecca Carper. He later married Emma Mae Hunt and they had two children, Constance Lee and Phillip Lowry, both born in Pulaski, Virginia.
