Dear Mrs. Keehan and family, So very sorry for your loss. What a kind and loving husband, father, Grandfather and friend Mr. Keehan was. I remember my Mom always speaking so highly of him and the generosity and thoughtfulness of both Mr. and Mrs. Keehan. When my mom got sick you kept showing up just as you always had before. It meant the world to all of us. My hope is that they are together now enjoying a delicious meal filled with great conversation and laughter. He will be remembered so...

Our sincere condolences to the Keehan family. Don had been such a wonderful neighbor and friend. He will be missed.

We shared a friendship born in business but matured in a fellowship of cards, we usually lost, Golf, an occasional win, and dinners of wit and intellect.

He was a gift but leaves us an enduring friendship with Arlene and the wider Keehan family. Fred & Gingy Quinn

However, his treatment of people no matter their skin color was his priority....
