Cassidy was inducted into the Cal State Northridge Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004. In recent years, he sponsored a scholarship given to a senior scholar-athlete in association with the San Fernando Valley chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.

Throughout his time as a teacher and coach at Northridge, he helped inspire countless graduates to enter teaching and coaching. His Basketball 101 class was a must for students who wanted to learn fundamental aspects of the game.

“He was an outstanding coach and outstanding man,” said Hilgert, who was a freshman when he played baseball with Cassidy at then-San Fernando Valley State. Hiegert went on to be a successful Northridge baseball coach, athletic director, colleague, and a longtime friend of Cassidy’s.
