Charles Francis McKeon

Chuck was a kind and generous man. He loved rocket science and rocket engines and was very sharp. He made a real difference for many by helping and guiding us. I will always remember his wit, impish smile and poems - especially the poem "I´m a Shy, Retiring Guy" (I keep retiring, and then re-hiring and I really don´t know why,...); well your colleagues were happy and relieved you did - maybe that was why. Farewell Charlie and my condolences to your family. Kurt Coffman

I always called him Charlie. He was one of my most impactful mentors when I joined Rocketdyne in 1988. He loved to work together to solve a problem and would teach every step of the way. His humor would light up any situation and his poems are a treasure. For my mentor, God Bless. Bill Munsch

Charlie was always a pleasant, patient and helpful guy - the qualities you look for in a friend. His poems and limerick´s will be remembered. He could do one for any event - the summary that he presented at my retirement dinner is a memorable treasure. All who knew him will miss him! Don McKenzie

Charlie McKeon was our mentor and friend, really learned a lot from him. Especially his sense of humor during adverse situations and he found the lighter side of the situation and wrote a poem on it......diffused the tension a lot. He will be missed. May him rest in peace.

Charley was always a good natured friend! I still enjoy the `limericks´ that Chuck wrote for my retirement dinner.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
