William Michael Keane

Bill was without a doubt the most generous and caring man whom I have ever worked with. He was a great mentor to me and an inspiration to me in my early years at UPS. Rest in peace Bill Keane!

The day I found out our son was going to be a priest the only one as happy as our family was Bill. He was very supportive throughout my career and was at our son's ordination with that famous smile He was always there for you, personally and professionally. He will be missed.

I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of the Keane family for the past 15+ years. Many of Mary Pat’s siblings chided me in the early years about getting better care from Bill and Mary than they did. I got fabulous meals every summer weekend when I would visit Mary Pat while I was at Marquette. I even think Tim got kicked out of his room a few times so I could have bed (or at least share a bed with Alex). Mary Pat always joked I got better treatment than even she did when I lived at the...

The greatest way I can think to honor the life of my Uncle Bill is to live my life in the way he lived his. By appreciating family above everything else, by greeting strangers with a smile, by finding reasons to be happy and by loving unconditionally. Maybe I'll even honor him by learning to fold up money and secretly slip it to my favorite nieces with a handshake.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and his family. Everyone loved Bill.

To our neighbor Bill, Always a smile and wave for us. Watched our family grow up and loved to know what was going on with our children. He made a point to come and watch their games! We will miss you friend.

Dear Family:
What is a brother. One who is kind, loving and understanding. When you need him he is always there. One I could always count on to be there when I need him. That was my brother Bill. So many times I was lost and he would tell me that I was't alone. He was there when I needed him. He wasn't to go before me. I always told every one that he was older than me. He was always my big brother. How I loved him. He used to say if my arms were long enough I would hug you. How I ...

We will always remember the man with the huge smile and even bigger heart who always welcomed the kids in the neighborhood to sit on his swing and look at his fish. My family and I are so proud and honored to have known such an amazing man. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family!

Bill was the quintessential gentleman whether it be in his personal or business lives, and which somehow whether it was by design (I doubt it) or default (more like his unassuming friendly nature), neither of them ever seemed to differentiate themselve's as it was apparent it was just Bill being Bill. His consistent chiding whenever we would meet after our retirements, about how my Irish rose Patti got stuck with me never got boring, it just opened the door for more good natured ribbing and...
