Hugh Casey managed to stand out as a very unique individual on a team comprised mostly of eccentric charaters! Apparently, he had no concept of how to save money or travel properly. He started out each road trip packing only his toothbrush. He would buy his clothes every day as he needed them, before giving them away to whoever wanted them! The next road trip would start the cycle anew! Needless to say, I think financial, along with marital problems, contributed to his suicide. I hate to get overly detailed on this, but it's been published before--Casey actually called his wife and was on the phone with her when he pulled the trigger. Excuse the morbidity, but I just write that to illustrate that Casey's mental faculties were certainly not running at full capacity at the time of his self-inflicted demise.
