Not sure what to say?

I recently learned of Professor O'Keefe's passing and memories came to mind of my very first marketing class at DePaul. He instilled a passion of marketing and for myself, an eventual career in marketing. His family is in my prayers.

Great teacher and loved his style.. Brian Schultz Bus 86'

Rest in peace Bob. The conversations we had early in my career at DePaul were enjoyable and helpful to my professional development. You were a wonderful colleague. Thank you.

I remember fondly all our conversations about art, education, books, movies, travel, and most importantly, his love of family. He is missed. My deepest condolences.

When someone we love passes, we just dont mourn their loss, we mourn the hole in our lives their passing has left. My Uncle Bob was a lot of things but he was mostly a loving father and husband. My memories take me back to the laughs at the Jersey Shore in the summertime.

I am sorry to hear about the Bob's death. I knew he suffered these past years but it is hard to believe that he has gone to his eternal reward. I had many lunches with him at DePaul. He was always kind and loved his students. He and you are in my prayers.
