Then I sit corrected, I will take your word for it. Then again, I took Youtube's word for it that is was Cashion. It's almost like you can't trust the internet for 100% accurate information any more. 1 1

Utah John Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 With most refs, you don't realize they're not working anymore until they die. I have no idea when Cashion retired, but the memory of his calls is so fresh. The exception to this of course is Ed Hochuli who thought his words of wisdom were the reason we all watched the game. Happy happy happy that he's retired.

I think Cashion was also one of Nick O’Leary’s grandfathers.
