He was particularly concerned about what we call "collateral damage" that might have negatively affected his French colleagues and other
French who gave him lodging and food, etc., when he was an operative in France.

I met Robert at Frasier Meadows and soon became a member of his French conversation group. He was uniquely convivial, with a broad intellect, incredible memory, and wonderful sense of humor. I am sure that his exploits during WWII indirectly helped my family and me escape France during the war. RIP, dear friend.

The Kehoes hosted a neighborhood Christmas party for many years. I have the best memories of Mr. Kehoe playing piano and neighbors singing carols together. They had THE hill for sledding both day and night. Reading about Mr. Kehoe's heroic deeds helps me understand why their whole family made such a lasting impression on me. Hello to the kids from Mary Pat Kellagher in NC.

Will be remembered for his bravery during World War II.

A very brave man.
