Not sure what to say?

Harriet, I just learned about Tony´s passing, and I´d like to send my deepest sympathy to you. I always thought very highly of him, and I loved our phone conversations after we retired from Marian Catholic. It was also a special joy to celebrate our anniversaries together each August. You are in my prayers.

I had the pleasure and privilege to be in Mr. Keating's third year and fourth year Latin classes at Marian Catholic. He was great a teacher and a good and kind man. My condolences to his family and friends. Requiescat in pace.

You were a great teacher and mentor, and taught with passion. Here is asking God to grant you eternal rest, we all know it after teaching Joliet Catholic and Marian Catholic. Rest in peace Senior Keating. Hope I got that right; my...
