To Fran and all the family, I am Blessed to have known Joe Keevill for thirty six years. I worked for Joe and Fran for twenty two years and it was a dream job for me. They are very dear friends and I will miss Joe Sr. very much. Whenever I would call to talk to Fran he was always cheerful, even though I knew that sometimes he may not have felt too well.

I remember sometime in the late'70s walking home from Sylvan Elementary School. There,on the ground, was a $10 bill. I think the first thing I did was to go to 7-11 to buy some candy.

Indeed, if I ever had a 'hangout" as a kid, that place was it! Thanks to Joe and the family...those were happy times.

Fran;,I'm very sorry about Joe. I share in your grief. Bill William O Wessund

Visited Mr Keevil for years at the Hobby Shop.My thoughts are with his family.

So sorry for your loss sweet Miller and Keevil Family. Blessings

To the Keevil fmily. Joe was great at the Hobby Shop. He used to help me in the mid 70's when I had problems with my trains. Never a charge for it. My friends and I did all of our trains, planes and model rocket business with Joe, Sonny and Joe's wife. What a great place for young kids to go. A truly good man. Sorely missed.
