Goodbye to Richard Casey
I just wanted to post a quick note about the passing of Richard Casey, the Founder and CEO of my company, Square 1 Bank. Richard passed unexpectedly at the age of 63 after a brief battle with an undisclosed illness. I’ll be adding his name to the list of people in whose honor I’m participating in the 2011 DFMC.
Richard was admired for his passion; both for his work and for the people who worked for him. In my interactions with him, he always made a point to tell me that my contributions were appreciated and he valued my input. I guess it’s not surprising that many of my colleagues are proud to say that they worked for and with Richard for 20+ years. He will be missed.
