Casey MacPherson-Pomeroy was the kind of easygoing, good-time guy that people gravitated to – so much so, that when he’d cut high school to go snowboarding, there were teachers who would take off with him, recalls Chuck Pomeroy, the stepfather who helped to raise Casey in Eagle Point, Oregon. “With his good looks, his schmoozing personality, he got away with a lot.”
By the time Casey was 37 and married, he had dabbled in pharmaceutical sales and acting before deciding to start medical school on the Caribbean island of Anguilla, where he and his wife, Barbara, now 61, rented an apartment near the water.
“Casey said, ‘Dad, I’m a beach bum, I’m an islander now,’” his dad, Charlie MacPherson, recalls. “‘It’s a good life,’ he said.”
A taste of that…
