Henry F. Cassedy (Hank), 82, of Washington, Pa. died 1-1-2024 in Southmont of Presbyterian Senior Care, Washington, PA. He was born 4-15-1941 in Pittsburgh, a son of Barney and Betty Palmer Cassedy. Henry grew up in Dormont and Upper St. Clair, and was a 1959 graduate of Mt. Lebanon High School. Henry was quite mechanically inclined and could repair just about anything. By the time he was 16, Henry rebuilt a Model A Ford, starting his lifelong love of rebuilding cars from the ground up. From his his teeenage years to his early twenties, Henry worked at the family business, West Liberty Glass, in Pittsburgh and at Parish Plastics, in Bethel Park, where he built automotive body parts from fiberglass. At 28, he opened his own business, Fibercast Products, in South Franklin Township, where he designed, manufactured and sold fiberglass bathtubs and showers, that he made by hand, from start to finish.
Hank retired around 2000. After retirement, Hank enjoyed going to truck and tractor pulls with his friends. He was known as a gentle and generous man who never knew a stranger. On 2-9-1963, in McMurray, he married Shirley Lindner Cassedy, who survives. Also surviving are three children, five grandchildren, a sister and many nieces and nephews. Two brothers are deceased. I think Hank's wife died since this obituary was written.
