Paul is the gentleman on the left in this photograph; that's me on the right.
This photograph was taken in July 2000 at The Seattle Center.

(My words now)
I knew Paul as early as the mid- or mid/late-1980s (1987 is my best guess here). He was both friendly and honest - he'd go out of his way to make anybody feel comfortable around him. I considered him my best friend. He was rather heavily into computers - and soon - his BBS. One of his loves besides his BBS were Tandy TRS-1000 computers.
He would stay up into the wee hours of the morning working on his BBS, always making it just a little better each day.
We would ride our chairs together to watch the Gay Pride Parade (also called "The F** March" by some) on Broadway in Seattle WA. USA, then grab a "to go" bag at Jack In The Box after the parade was over, but before going to Volunteer Park for the Freedom Rally. This event was crowded, but we always went home with free and low-priced souvenirs. And we stayed there to listen to the music & speakers, and do a little "boy watching" as Paul called it - we actually went "man watching" instead of "BOY watching" - we were not pedos you know. ;-)
I eventually moved into his home on 10-11-04, functioning as his live-in aide as well as being his friend.
Both of us would say "indeeeeed" like Teal'c on the TV program "Stargate SG-1", and if I said something that upset him (it was never, ever anything major or significant), I would say (spoken like Teal'c) "We shall not speak of this agane" in the lowest voice I could achieve, after he explained what exactly it was that upset him.
The word "agane" is intentionally misspelled; this is how Teal'c pronounced it.
"Stargate SG-1" was one of Paul's favourite TV programs besides the two game shows already mentioned on this web page.
Paul's favourite drink was Pepsi - even eclipsing coffee, milk, and water.
He had his right leg amputated (removed) just above the knee on 04-20-06, and I had to move out on 05-26-06 on the news that Paul would never be able to return home - and I did not make nearly enough money to pay just the rent there - so I really had no other choise in the matter.
After moving to Sacramento CA. (I arrived on 05-27-06), I kept in regular (at least twice daily) contact with Paul clear until just a few days before his demise. He appreciated that I called him to remind him that "The Price is Right" and "Wheel of Fortune" were about to come on.
This is another screen from Waka Waka BBS - the screen you got at logoff.
Rest in peace Paul. There'll be no more pain now.
Paul Casey is survived by his sisters Tina DeRango, Shirley Bonwell, and Judy Bainbridge.

Paul really loved the TV game show "Wheel of Fortune", so here's a small testament to that.
He also loved "The Price is Right", and we would both exclaim "YAY TELEPHONY!!!" (pronounced "tell uh FOAN' ee") if the announcer said:
"Contestants not appearing on-stage will receive {usually a locking mailbox
from Jandmar} and a telephone from Invention Submission Corporation".
or
"Promotional consideration provided by {usually
Jandmar} and Invention Submission Corporation".
It was announced on 06-15-07 that The Price is Right host Bob Barker is retiring; if Paul were still with us, he would have just {vulgar term for defecate; used as a verb and in the past tense}. I wonder now if somebody up in heaven will have to clean up {vulgar term for feces} after Paul's angel has heard about this. 
The Price is Right *WAS* one of Paul's favourite TV programs.
UPDATE 08-20-07: I have just heard that Drew Carey will be the new host for TPIR.
UPDATE 10-08-07: As I understand, the new TPIR with Drew Carey hosting it will be shown beginning 10-15-07.
UPDATE 05-08-08: I have a ~98% certainty that I just saw Paul's "Spin ID" number on Wheel of Fortune!!! If Paul was still with us, he'd have won a trip to the Carribean!!!
Paul Casey's memorial demo program for the PC
If the color pisses you off, then this one might be more to your liking (the music is also different).
This third one runs on some Windows 98 machines (it does not work on my Toshiba laptop, but does work on my Gateway 2000 desktop).
This version has the copper color theme like the first demo above.
This version of Paul Casey's memorial demo has had the sinus text and photograph removed; some viewers may find it easier on the 'ol eyeballs.
And this is the same as above, but should run on some Windows 98 machines.
This version of Paul Casey's memorial demo is a newer one - a new photograph was used and it has had the sinus text removed; like the last one, some viewers may find it easier on the 'ol eyeballs.
And this is the same as above, but should run on some Windows 98 machines.
This version of Paul Casey's memorial demo is the latest one (03-29-10) - a screen from Paul's Waka Waka BBS was used and it has had the sinus text removed; like the last two, some viewers may find it easier on the 'ol eyeballs.
And this is the same as above, but should run on some Windows 98 machines.
Screen dump from a newer version.
If you're wondering why the bottom text reads "RENAMED IT TO TDC (THE DOUCHE CREW) IN", it's because I was explaining the basic progression of my Commodore 64 demo group TDM -- yes, I ran a Commodore 64 demo group in the early and early/mid-1990s.
Screen dump from the latest (03-29-10) version.
Notice the graphic is actually Paul's BBS!!! 
Though I must admit that I felt a little queer (pun not intended) registering & logging in as him in order to obtain that screen dump. 
This version is the latest one - a screen dump of D'Bridge (Paul's choise of mailer front-end) is on there!!! It has also had the larger of the two sinus scrolltexts removed; like the last three, some viewers may find it easier on the 'ol eyeballs.
And this version is the same as above; but may run on some Windows 98 pee cees.
Screen dump from this demo.
Here are some DOS demo/BBS advertisement programs I made for him in the mid-1990s:
adwaka1.zip
adwaka2.zip
adwaka3.zip
They were known to operate on 386 and 486 computers; they run in DOS mode (using F8 to reboot directly to DOS on computers using Windows and with Pentium CPUs as well) (tested good on Pentium I and II only).
Site last updated 03-30-10: Added five more computer demos (three from the mid-1990s and two from 03-30-10).
