Cache Creek remembering man who community ‘could count on’
KAMLOOPS — The community of Cache Creek is mourning the loss of its fire chief Clayton Cassidy, who went missing at 3 a.m. Friday morning and hasn’t been seen since. After two days of searching, the search is now a recovery mission.
Pat Schwindt knew Cassidy for over 20 years, meeting at the curling rink and forming a deep friendship. He says Cassidy would do anything for anyone.
“First of all was his family he always looked after, and second it was the community,” says Schwindt, who moved to Cache Creek in 1997. “He went overboard, and that’s probably what has caused him this problem. He wouldn’t go away without looking after people.”
