Col. O'Keefe,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army-especially during WW II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Growing up, my family's trip to El Paso to visit Grandma and Grandpa was always the highlight of my summer vacation. My sisters and I looked forward to the trip all year. We'd start packing our bags in happy anticipation weeks before it was time to go. Grandpa and Grandma always made those visits so special. Grandpa loved taking us all around El Paso. He took us swimming every afternoon, and he got right in with us. He always gave us a little tour of the base, showing us any changes going on. He took us to the El Paso library to make sure we had plenty to read. There was always a trip to Sears, to pick out a new outfit for school. Sometimes we got to go to the El Paso Zoo. In the evening we walked Chang. When I got older, and started having medical interests, he even took us to see several of the hospitals in town. He showed me all around BAMC, so that I could see the difference between a military and civilian hospital. Everywhere we went, from the hospital, to church, to the commissary, people knew him, and I was always so proud to be his granddaughter. Back at home, he always had all kinds of goodies for us to eat. He'd bring out little Butterfingers for us at various times during the day. After dinner, he'd make us icecream cones that he scooped himself. And he grilled big burgers for us each time we came. Each visit there was a fresh set of family pictures taken on the front porch- best when taken by Uncle George! Grandpa always had so many interesting stories to tell, and he was a good storyteller. I have always been amazed with all the good things he did in his life. He was a wonderful grandfather.
