Not sure what to say?

Made history fun. We'll miss him.
Fred Hall, class of '62.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
It was a pleasure teaching with Jack because he always had a smile and was upbeat. Perhaps he was just thinking about the sailboat behind the house.

Our deepest sympathy.
May God give you His comfort and peace.

My deepest sympathies to Brett, Linda, and Jack's family. I still have memories of dinners...and watching an A-Team episode or two on TV in the early eighties...with Jack and Linda in their lovely home. Again, my condolences on your loss.

Sincere Condolencs

My Deepest Sympathy

Dear Linda and Family,
My thoughts are with you all at this sorrowful time. What a teacher John was and many fond memories i will always have of him. He was so kind spirited no matter how us "teens" acted way back when i had him in the early 70"s. Great history and homeroom teacher. May he find peace in a much better place now.

Linda and Brett:

Please know what a privilege it was to have your father as a teacher as well as having your family as neighbors. I'll forever remember the numerous stories he shared during history class.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mr. Keenan was a fine man and a great teacher. He was one of the reasons I decided to become a history major in college. I will forever remember how he left me off the honor society roll call at graduation (twice!) and how we laughed about it for years after. His wit, humor and love for other human beings will be greatly missed in the Baldwinsville community. My prayers go out to his family...may he rest in peace.
