My heart goes out to Louise and the rest of the family. I was fortunate enough to work some with Louise (his daughter) several years back in the real estate business. I am proud to say that I have been living in Mays Chapel since '90 (a great Keelty development). He will be greatly missed for everything that he has done.

On behalf of the entire Bruni and Williams families, I would like to offer the Keelty family our heartfelt condolences on Mr. Jim's passing. My father, Joe Bruni, has been a faithful employee of the Keeltys for most of my life. For the past seven years, my father has enjoyed spending time with and running errands for Mr. Jim. I know my father will miss him terribly. God bless Mr. Jim,and may God bless his family during their time of sorrow.
