Not sure what to say?

Mr. O'Keefe was a man's man, with a generous spirit and wonderful sense of humor. He set a consistent tone for the entire family of respect toward others and of reaching out to share in this life. He is missed, but his legacy is timeless. Love and prayers to the entire family and extended family.

Gerry was a very good man - I worked with him in the sporting goods industry and found him open, honest and kind.

He will be missed by more people than you know!

To Margaret and Hogie,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Your dad was a wonderful man and we are happy to have known him. We will keep you in our prayers.
Love,
Muffy and Dan
