Bowling Green State University alumnus Bernie Casey was an accomplished artist, athlete and actor. The University is saddened by the loss of one of its most accomplished and admirable alumni. Casey died Tuesday, Sept. 19, in Los Angeles.
“Bernie Casey was a true Renaissance man, and a role model for our students today,” said President Mary Ellen Mazey. “Bowling Green State University allowed him to develop his talents in and out of the classroom, from the artist’s studio to the football field, and his life was one of great achievement and service.”
He received a bachelor’s degree in art education in 1961, attending in part on a football scholarship.
