Joseph M. Keating Sr.

He pinched my cheeks at the age of 3, but then I only came up to his knee.

He pinched my cheeks at the age of 10, and I thought that was great way back then.

He pinched my cheeks at the age of 15, I looked around hopefully not to be seen.

He pinched them again at the age of 30, and at that time I thought it was dirty!

When 40 came, he pinched my cheeks the same.

Now at the age of 50 and he is not here, I'd give anything for that pinch of...

Happy Fathers Day Dad, What can I say to you that I don’t say to you every day? That, I miss you, that I love you. If only I had, just a couple more minutes with you, if only I could learn a little bit more from you. If only I knew how hard this was going to be.....? From this experience, I learned that you cannot go back and retrieve time lost. I have learned to live every day with no regrets. I will take the ideals that you instilled in me, to live with passion, motivation and joy. ...

Dad,
Happy Birthday to you.........Today is your birthday and I want to give you a hug,
I miss you more and more every day.
I miss your inspiration, your enthusiasm, and most of all your love for me.I want to thank you for giving me courage, courage to go on and be strong, and love life every minute of every day.. I want to thank you for always believeing in me. Dad, God gave me the greatest blessing when he made my father you.
I love you Dad,
Karen Keating

Dear Keating Family,
May your wonderful memories of Joe help you all through this sad time. He is truly missed by all who knew him.

It took a while for me get up the courage to write this without crying. Mya and I wish we could have been there to help in anyway possible, just like you all were there for our family. Mr. Keating was a wonderful man inside and out and will be greatly missed by so many people.

Dear Keating Family & Dear Joe, Our sincerest Sympathy. We regret we were not able to attend the services; however, the "EBC-A Team" was there in our place. Our thoughts and hearts were with you then, and still are.....
I repeat what has been stated in the guest book, for you Joe will be missed dearly. "Joe your seat at the EBC can never be filled.” Rest in peace.

Dear Keating Family
Joe will be missed by ALL ...just as he was loved by ALL
I was with him in my thoughts the three days of sorrow

Dear Keatings.
Everyone thankyou for the memories in life with Mr. Keating, Uncle Joe you will be so dearly missed. You raised your family with such grace. You gave us direction, you helped us, you gave us your hugs, and you taught us all. And for that I am so grateful. We are all so lucky to be able to call you family. Our families shared a fortunate life together. You sir will never be far from our hearts. We cried, we laughed, and we loved in life. Everyone my thoughts and prayers...

I remember your dad and my brother Ray Coleman talking and laughing on the front sidewalk. They were good friends as well as business partners.
