Not sure what to say?

There are no words good enough to describe Dr. Keating. He was a one in a million doctor and human being. I worked for him for years in his office in Plainfield and had such great affection for him. I think of him often and will be forever grateful for knowing him and having him touch my life the way he did. God bless him and his family always.

I am saddened at the loss of a good friend and colleague. We spent many years practicing together in the Plainfield and Warren communities, and fond memories remain. My condolences to the family.

My heartfelt sympathy to you all on the loss of Garrett. I worked with him for many years on the Muhlenberg Foundation Board of Trustees and I saw firsthand his commitment to local healthcare. He approached challenges with eagerness and a twinkle in his eye.

I am sorry to hear that your father has died. He was one of a kind! I knew him when he was a resident at Margaret Hague Maternity Hospital/JCMC in Jersey City when I was a student nurse. I then worked with him for 10 years at Muhlenberg Hospital. He was so thoughtful and caring to his patients and co-workers! Connie Hendrzak, R.N.

Garrett, was a pleasure to have known as a leader in the community and exemplary cophysician...my condolences to the family. Alec Simpson, Warren NJ

To a wonderful friend for many happy years and wonderful memories.
Our heartfelt sympathy.

Dr. Keating is the reason I am a nurse today. Every time I wanted to drop out of nursing school, he would tell me "you're going to be a great nurse!" He was a real "old school" physician, who truly cared about his patients. I had the pleasure of having him deliver my son. My deepest condolences to his family.

Garrett Keating was one of the last of the generation of physicians that made Muhlenberg a great hospital. He not only served its medical staff but also as a dedicated leader of the Board of Governors.
The Community has suffered another irreplaceable loss.



Our deepest sympathy to you in your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with and your family. GOD BLESS
