Richard Michael Keely

Rick was so accommodating when I came to visit him and Mariann a few years ago. I loved the life they both built. May you rest in peace.

Great memories playing basketball with Rick for three years at Stadium High School in Tacoma, WA

RIP Rick Keely ~ "Bigger than life", Rick was a great friend & brother. We lived together after college on 56th & Proctor (later adding Bobby Allen & Rick Ceccanti to the brotherhood) - what fun times. We also worked a variety of nightclubs together which included the Tiki and The Exit of Lakewood. It was fun seeing H.H. sitting practically in the backseat of his classic VW w/Porsche engine rolling down the AVE. What a great friend he was . We'll miss you Bro ~ Dan

I remember being @ Engine House #9 with Rick & he wrote a check for cash & they wouldn´t cash it because they only knew him as Howard Huge! Until he showed him his drivers license & they still questioned it! Also driving around in his classic VW Beetle with the Porsche engine what fun!

Ah yes ..... what a site ....... Howard Huge coming down the street in his VW Bug. A Big man with an even bigger heart !! A competitor, a teammate, but best of all, a great friend. May you rest in peace. Clyde

Sorry to hear about my high school friend, Rick Keely. We played football together and became lifelong friends. Always a great guy. May you Rest In Peace. Bob Hunt

Our condolences.

Sue, Barb and Skip, Dean and I are truly sorry to hear this news. Our hearts break for you and for everyone that knew and loved Rick. We loved him, what a guy! I think we had about 55 years of friendship and what a great one that was. RIP big guy

I think about all the times Rick use to come up the block to the Hankins girls house and watch televisions. You would spread out on the rug and took up the whole room. We were friends for our whole life. Marianne I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed by many. Kristine Hankins Hanberg
