Not sure what to say?

I am not sure if The Keaney/Leone will get to see this. I wanted to send my sympathy to the families.. I grew up on the street with both families, girl scouts with Charlotte, hung with Donna for many years, my brother, Ken , and KK were good friends. Lots of pleasant memories of our times together back when we were so very young. George, I remember you, and I too remember your sister with her big crush on Bobby . Sometimes it seems like yesterday..Sending my sympathy and sweet memories

I'll love you forever and always! Thank you for all of your love and support. I'm thankful for our memories and jokes. I miss you so much that it feels overwhelming at times. I really wish they had a phone in Heaven so I could call you again. In those moments, I go and sit in your truck to cry or put on a flannel shirt of yours so a part of you is with me. I miss you since not only were you my Grandpa, you were and still are my friend. I can't imagine Christmas Eve without you so please be...


As a young boy of 9 years old I witnessed what infatuation was my big sister Donna at 15 years old was in love with handsome 18 year old Bobby Keaney our neighbor living across the street. She would look out the window every time his cool old car would come or go. The hit song would play regularly I want to be Bobby's girl which she sang and became; Going on dates to the drive in movies. Bobby worked driving dump trucks like his father Charlie. There was always dump trucks home for lunch....

Growing up in Billerica, Bob was one of the good guys, We had some laughs and adventures. Bob will be in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace old friend!

Praying for you all at this difficult time. May God bring you peace and comfort. With the healing of your broken hearts, you will be able to look back on the good memories with less sadness and more joy.

RIP.Marty and Cookie Kennelly
