To all my O'Keefe cousins, Your dad was a remarkable person. As a child I think he was always my favorite uncle. I can still see him walking you guys to mass on Sunday. I loved him and I shall treasure my memories. This is such a sad loss for all of you.

John O'Keefe -- A wonderful person.
He went through many heartbreaking situations, but never let it show. I will always remember his exceptional manners, kindness, generosity, wisdom, intelligence, humor, and his love for the common person.
He truly will be missed.

MY SINCERE SYMPATHY AND LOVE,

John was a visitor to my barbershop off of Lake Street on many occasions and always brought interesting conversation and his fedora. I'll miss him.

Dear O'Keefe's,
I'm so very sorry to hear about your father. He was a special man. And our parents (and us kids) shared so many memorable times together at the lake. Another of the "old guard" gone. Please keep in touch. Condolences from all of us McNally's (the remainder of the Irish Navy on Gull Lake...)

My prayers are with you in this time of sadness, may the good lord bless his soul. my only regret was never getting to know this remarkable man. Shawn M. O'keefe grandson of George.

John was a very good person, I could always talk to him and he always had kind and wise things to say, I will miss seeing him walking down the street in his slippers no matter what the weather, Go in peace my friend, George Humphrey.

We had fun years living next to the O'Keefe family on Lake Harriet. Also the many lunches with John at the "chapel" on the second floor of the Athletic Club. Sorry to miss the memorial service but we will be at our lake place. Our condolences to the family. John McNulty
