Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you sweet John.

Happy heavenly birthday big John. You are missed and never forgotten.

Thinking of you today big John. I still have the box of Kleenex you gave me for my birthday. Chuck misses you so much. We are honored to have had you in our live and as a dear friend. May you rest in perfect peace with the Lord. Until we meet again.....

On our private tour of his wonderful company. John Keenan, one of the most selfless people I've ever met. Still missing you.......

I worked for Keenan for 21 years. Now that I am retired, I am truly thankful that Keenan offered their ESOP and 401k. More importantly, I have been John's girlfriend for 8 1/2 years. I guess at my age I should say companion. I think our ages dictate that.

One of my favorite photos of John is not his portrait, or photos from cruises we took and events we attended but of John and Frank Shimsky walking in front of of us in Istanbul. The us were: Linda and Herb Elliott, Frank's wife...

John was one of the kindest and most honorable men with whom I have been acquainted. He was a great friend to our family. He will be greatly missed.
May God bless his family.

I offer my deepest condolences to the Keenan family. I had the pleasure to work at Keenan & Associates from 2006-2009. I have the utmost admiration and respect for Mr. Keenan. He created a wonderful working environment and the loyalty of the employees is a true testament to that.

Mr. Keenan was a pioneer and a man ahead of his time. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Keenan family on the passing of your father.
Sincerely, Lynn & Don Ott

My sincere condolences on the passing of John Keenan. I worked at Keenan and Associates in the late 1980s and early 1990s. My desk was right outside of Johns office and he was always very pleasant and kind. I worked for Vince for a while and of course saw Dan and Tom a lot as I worked for Dave Balak and for Don Leonard and Don Balzano for a while also. I was sorry to hear about Johns passing and wish the family well. I am sorry that I was unable to attend his funeral, but my thoughts...
