Richard Lee Keefer

Dick and grew up together since second grade. We lived two blocks from each other in Highland Park, four miles West of Harrisburg across the Susquehanna river. Incredibly special, unending friend. What a growing up time we had! Memories that will never be forgotten. We joined the Navy and attended boot camp together. At reunions we would run out to our old swimming hole and Spangler's Mill - we used to ride our bikes there all the time. From the day I found about of Dick's untimely...

Love, love, love Dick as my wonderful dancing partner! In our terrific group of friends, we all had so much fun and shared so much. Sergei & I are singing you & Luan the "Good Morning" song and LOL!!

Dick was our welcoming committee when we relocated to Aspen apartments from New York in late 1980. The following years were filled with laughter and warm relationships. Dick was the straw that stirred the drink. Just a born leader with a ton of charisma. Luan, we send our sympathy to you and thank you for the years of joy to brought to Dick.

Luann, I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart is with you!

So sorry to hear this. He is finally at peace. Hoping you are feeling God´s peace very strong these days.

Luan, it is with deep regret and seriously hitting me very hard about losing Dick. We were such close friends from second grade through high school and then on together joining the Navy for bootcamp and special aviation schooling in Norman, OK. We used to hitch hike from our home there and back and our parents were so concerned we did that; it was a great experience meeting some real characters along the way. I have so many memories of Dick. My special prayers to you and your family...
