Mass of Christian burial was held Friday, March 5, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Hudson. Burial was held at Ft. Snelling National Cemetery in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Services were in the care of the O'Connell Family Funeral Home, Hudson, Wisconsin.
He was born on May 3, 1923 in Elkader, the son of Leo and Anastasia (Downy) Cassutt. He attended St. Joseph parochial school, graduating from high school before furthering his education at Upper Iowa University. He received his degree in teaching.
As a young man, he enlisted in the armed forces where he proudly served in the United States Army. He served during World War II as a corporal in coast artillery in San Diego. Upon his return, he would meet the former Joyce Kathryn Williams. The two were united in marriage on June 13, 1953, at St. John's Catholic Church in Mankato, Minnesota.

In 1959, Mr. Cassutt began teaching at Hudson High School. He taught American studies, psychology, and economics. He also served as assistant principal for Hudson High School. On the side, he coached junior varsity football and basketball, varsity baseball and girl's varsity basketball.
One of Cass's favorite pastimes was baseball. In fact, he played professional ball for the St. Louis Cardinals with the likes of Stan Musial, Joe Garigiola and Earl Weaver.
His other passion was sweets! Anything chocolate was fair game and cake doughnuts were never safe around him. He also enjoyed a round or two of golf and was a devout member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church.
He will be fondly remembered by his wife Joyce; children, Michael (Cindy) Cassutt, Mark (Donna) Cassutt and Nancy (Chris) Ison; grandchildren, Ryan, Alexandra, Kathryn, Zachary, Allison, Elliot and Ethan; and siblings, Dorothy (Bob) Allen, Jean Ann (Bob) Hinds and Jim Cassutt.
