Thomas Howard Keelor

On Monday this week I was out walking and out of the blue, I thought about Tom Keelor. I told my wife Maggie and she happened to find his obituary where it mentioned him attending school in Rocky River at St. Christopher’s school. I sat near Tom in first grade! I think Sister Giovanni was our teacher. I remember Tom liked to draw jet airplanes and he would show me his pencil drawings. We moved after that and I did not see Tom again. I am amazed how God shows how we are all connected in...

Tom and I roomed together at Ashland College (now University). I've always looked up to Tom as did everyone who knew him at school. Tom was one of those people who others immediately gravitated towards. He was not only well liked, he was respected. His humor and easy-going nature lifted all of us around him. I can hear his laugh and will miss hearing it in the future. He and Patti have always been a beautiful pair. I'll continue to think of Tom and the Keelor family often.

Tom was one of the best, kindest, most generous men I know. Patti was his heart and soul. Sarah and her family clearly meant the world to him as well. He was richly blessed and there's no doubt that he was welcomed to his Heavenly reward with open arms.

Tom was a true and classy gentleman-worked with him for years at NatCity. God Bless the Keelor family.

Fond remembrances of my cousin Tom. Many picnics at the farm and of course Torch Lake. Rest Peacefully

So sorry to hear about the sudden loss of one of our Cousins. Our deepest condolences to Patti and Tom’s Family. I always remember that Tom had a wry smile on his face. Although I have not seen Tom in many years, just knowing that he is gone will leave an empty space in this world. Many fond and funny memories of shenanigans on the Farm and of growing up.

My condolences to your family on Tom’s passing.

Tom was one of the really GOOD ones. He will be missed.

Last Christmas (2023). I can't believe he's gone.
