Richard Keefer

You were always very kind to me. Our deepest condolences and prayers to your family.

Rich and I have had a few brief conversations a while back. And each time it had always brought back fond memories of the old C-state days. (Including the '86 World series Celebration :-) ). And in these conversations, the one thing that I had come to realize, was that his character had never waivered. He was still the same guy that I knew and respected from long ago. The same man that was loved and respected by everyone who was ever fortunate enough to meet him. In Rich's passing, the Red...

I am so sorry to hear this news. He always made everybody happy. And it’s crushing to hear that he left us all so soon. Please know that he will always be in our hearts.

Aimee, Glenn , Craig , Jack , Ben , Chris— All of you gave Rich the support and love that most of us would be blessed to have in their lifetime. May Rich be playing football in heaven now and watching over all - especially Jack and Ben .
Thinking of you ,

My dear cousin. So very sorry, life is so unfair. He's with his dear mom now, and his uncles Eddie and Frank. They have taken him under their wings. The Tronsor family send our condolences to his sons.

I knew Richard with his family at Raquette Lake and how he loved being there and having friends in the community.
He was so generous to my family at the lake and we had good laughs. Connections with all the family thru Cortland's Outdoor Education Center
at the lake was such a blessing and happy memories. God's healing to you all and we will all see each other again on our final journey. That is God's promise to us all. God bless you and keep in strong in faith and have trust.

Rich represented everything we were at Cortland State love of the game love of your team love of life until we meet again big guy you will never be forgotten God Bless Coach Chep

Glenn & Christina, Craig and Beje, Aimee, Jack and Ben. Words cannot express the sadness we feel for this terrible news about Rich.
