oldest living WWII veteran:
At the age of 107, Cassidy's family said he was the second oldest WWII veteran in the entire country.
Cassidy spent his entire life in Preston, a small town in Bath County, with the exception of the four years he spent in the army.
Cassidy's son Mike said he was a combat engineer and was awarded four Bronze Star Medals.
Sadly, Roscoe died worrying nobody would attend his funeral because he'd
outlived all of his friends:
Cassidy's family says he always worried that because he had outlived so many of his friends, no one would come to his funeral. That's why his family has invited anyone to attend his funeral this Saturday, October 25.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday at Richardson Funeral Home in Owingsville. Visitation is Friday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
