He was a great man, and yes, he was in a class of his own. A man who got things done. Deepest sympathy for the family.

Our thoughts and love. The Fitzmorris and O’Keefe families have enjoyed a treasured friendship for over half a century. Our deepest sympathy at the passing of your beloved father and our cherished friend. With love, Jimmy Fitzmorris

Through triumph and tragedy, he always handled himself with grace and dignity. Although he was one of the most influential men in State government, he was never boastful. As president of the State Senate he led lesser men with his quiet persuasion and by his admirable example. He worked tirelessly for his local and state constituents.

The Senator was a kind and generous man and will long be remembered for his courageous contribution to the cause of racial justice. Mike and his family will be in our prayers.

Rest in Peace Senator. You were always so gracious to me. It was an honor to have been a part of your defense team. My deepest condolences to Mike, Jr., Erin , Eric and your entire family

How saddened I am to read of Sen. O’Keefe’s passing....what a wonderful man he was.... He and my late father were classmates at Loyola University.... May God give his family peace and strength

Michael and family, sorry to hear of your father's passing. I met him a very long time ago when we were at Christian Brothers and Jesuit High School together. Be strong and there for each other. Michael, don't know if you were aware of my mother's passing back on June 21, 2020. For us it was a hard Father's Day. May he Rest In Peace.
He is there with his fellow Blue Jays, like my father and uncle, watching over us.

My late husband, George, was waiting for Mike in heaven. They were classmates at Jesuit and both were Lakeview residents for years. George always had fond memories of their history together. Please accept my condolences.

So sorry for your loss Michael, rest in peace Senator.
