ReliabilityFirst mourns the loss of Board Member Patrick Cass

Honoring Patrick “Pat” Alan Cass

April 5, 1951 – Oct. 31, 2024

It is with deep respect and gratitude that we honor the memory of Patrick “Pat” Alan Cass, a dedicated and long-serving board member of ReliabilityFirst. Pat’s commitment to our organization and his invaluable contributions as the chair of the Finance and Audit Committee since 2014 have left an indelible mark on our community.

Pat’s professional journey was marked by excellence and leadership. After earning his BSBA in accounting from Bowling Green State University, he embarked on a distinguished career at Arthur Andersen LLP, where he became a partner and served in various offices across the country. His expertise and leadership continued at Ernst & Young LLP, where he managed the Louisville office and served as a regional energy industry leader until his retirement in 2009.

Beyond his professional achievements, Pat was deeply involved in civic and professional organizations, contributing his time and expertise to numerous boards, including Louisville United Way, Greater Louisville Inc., Leadership Louisville, and Louisville Fund for the Arts.

Pat’s passion for life extended to his many hobbies, including genealogy, piloting, sailing, and wine appreciation. His love for family and friends was evident in all he did, and he leaves behind a legacy of kindness, humor, and dedication.

Pat’s presence will be greatly missed, but his contributions and spirit will continue to inspire us.
