Patrick O'Keefe

This past Monday, I lost my favorite and treasured curmudgeon. Patrick O'Keefe came into our lives at Yanfeng and was quiet unique but you couldn't help but love him! His knowledge of the auto industry was amazing as he was a true Irishman, honored Veteran, loyal U of M fan, dedicated family man and genuine friend! He didn't care who he pissed off he spoke his mind (many inappropriate thoughts) LOL. I missed him as soon as I left YF but I was fortunate to take with me some of his knowledge...

Pat and I worked together at Chrysler. I enjoyed his humor and his many abilities. I am sorry for your loss...

I am so sorry to lose a life long friend. It was good that I got to see him last week. He was optimistic that he would pull through the plethora of health issues he had following his heart surgeries. I will miss seeing him sitting at the UM games tailgating on Keech St. He could always be seen with that little heater warming his feet. I am so sorry that I will not be there for the funeral. I am in Florida on business. I am gonna miss you Patrick. It seems like just then other day we...

Good friend, he will be missed.

Sorry to hear of your families lost. Pat was a friend and a individual who work hard for all his employers. He and I worked together at Ford Motor company in 1995 thru 2004. He was a strong Notre Dame fan and I remember the games we went to at Notre Dame. He will be missed. Edward Baillargeon

I remember Pat from the 60's when he and my brother Dave were great friends in high school. Later, I enjoyed his company a handful of times while we rooted Michigan on at the "Big House." He was a fun time, a dear man. This world is now missing a treasure.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked closely with Pat at Chrysler and enjoyed every minute of it. He told some very entertaining stories about his childhood. He will be missed, but it's comforting to know he is in God's hands now. Patty Wilkerson

Pat would always regale us with his fantastic stories about his childhood and the hijinks he and his brother would get into. He taught me much about cost estimating and he will be sorely missed

I am sorry to hear about Pat's Passing. I have many fond memories of working with Pat in estimating that I will cherish. My Ford/Visteon buddy will be missed. My heart goes out to Pat's family during this difficult time. Pat - Your still the World's greatest cost estimator in my book.
