Obituary

Kazuo “Casey” Seino, 81, of Huntley, Illinois, joined his wife Norie in heaven, passing away from an intracerebral hemorrhage at Centegra Hospital in Huntley on Tuesday, May 15, 2018.

He was born August 24, 1936 in Tokyo, Japan and grew up in rural Japan with family following the death of his father at an early age. He learned to speak English in school where he received a faith based education. Following his college studies, he attended the University of Illinois and obtained his Masters in Science in Electrical Engineering. He returned to Japan to marry Norie Matsumiya and shortly thereafter, in the early 1970’s, the couple immigrated to the United States, first to New Jersey, and then to the suburbs of Chicago. Casey worked as an electrical engineer for Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory for 31 years. He was a dedicated and meticulous worker, taking much pride in being an integral part of the team that designed the control systems that ran the accelerator rings. In 2005, he and Norie moved to Huntley, to enjoy retirement in Sun City. He loved tending his yard, playing Classical Spanish Guitar, piano, and was an avid tennis and table tennis player.

He is survived by his daughter, Dr. Kathy Seino of Minneapolis, MN and was preceded in death by his wife, Norie, brother, Akira, and his parents.
