I only met you a few times Arthur, but I know on this day I know your loving family miss and still love you very much. One day as time moves on we will all be reunited again by your side in Heaven.

Bill I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I only met him once or twice back when we were in grade school, he was a very nice man. I will keep all the Kekeris kamily in my prayers. Your Dad must have been proud of all those grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was probably more active in retirement with that large family then during his working years.
I hope you are doing well, i guess we haven't seen each other since 1958 - 1959 when we graduated from OLOS and went to St. John's riding in Mr. Yetter's carpool to get there.

A really good man. He was from my part of the city. He went to my high school (Central). My condolences to all of you. I regret I cannot make his funeral. May his memory be a blessing.

My love and prays to the entire Kekeris family. Art was like a father to me growing up. The Kekeris family home, Art, Catherine, Michael and the whole family gave me a place to run to when life at home was to much for me to handle. I knew I was safe there and they would never let anything bad happen to me. I am not sure I would have made it through my teenage years and become the person I am today without the love and support of the Kekeris family. Art was a very special and loving man and I will miss him and he will always have a very special place in my heart.

To my father-in-law (Arthur)I will miss you very much, but I will always keep the fun memories in my heart. From the first day that I met you, you treated me as a son. Art, you started me into a career and helped me become the man that I am today. You always would say to me, "family first". Your memory will forever be with me.
