Not sure what to say?

Mr. O'Keefe was a very kind person. He always stopped by to visit with my dad when he was suffering with Alztheimer's. He would also call my mother every time an old movie was on tv. My mother really enjoyed talking about the old movies. I was always amazed how he could remember everyone's birthday.

Our deepest condolences for the O'Keefe family at this time. We are sending prayers and love to you all. Jim was a wonderful person inside and out and I loved being his neighbor for many years. He made us laugh and his contagious smile will never be forgotten. God Bless and cherish all of the beautiful memories.

Diane: I'm very sad to hear about your dad's passing. I didn't know him but remember meeting him once and seeing him around town many times. It's such a difficult time in our lives when losing a parent. Hugs to you. XXOO

Diane, I am so very sorry. Your dad was a character and will always be remembered by so many people! I wont be able to make the services since we are on vacation. Know that im thinking of you and your family. Take care.

To my grandfather, the one that always remembered birthdays and good jokes. You always made me laugh and looked after me in need. I won't ever forget the times when I was a kid at the beach. I will truly miss you!!
Love You Always
Jimmy

Jim was such a remarkable man of faith. We shall always be grateful for having known him at Immaculate Conception parish...and grateful, too, that he carried the processional cross at our wedding. Our heartfelt sympathy to his beloved children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved us all and we, him.

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.
