- "In January 2007, as a new year was being born, a skin cell refused to die, built itself into a big, scaly carcinoma and tunnelled inside me. Before the doctors caught it, it had metastasised into my lymphatic system. At the time, I was living alone in a studio apartment above the Cook's River in the inner south-west Sydney suburb of Marrickville. There, amid the shadows, the weeds and the white cockatoos ... I died.".
- In 2005, Casey met French-born journalist Florence Decamp, they formed a loving relationship and she encouraged him in his writing. Her influence, along with his children's connection to their cultural heritage, his historian eldest son's never-ending quest for his familial past and his dying father's storytelling, inspired Casey to spend his final years chasing his grandfather Cornelius Casey's story, the ghost of a man who served with the First Australian Imperial Forces in World War I and who died before Kerry Casey was born.
- Even as he was fighting cancer, the cancer that eventually killed him, Casey began to research the mystery surrounding his grandfather Cornelius Casey, who went missing during World War I. What he discovered was an unknown story of Irish-Australians fighting for Ireland's independence.
