William J. Kehoe

Bill and Maura were dear friends for many years. Bill was one of the few teachers in the"advanced Freshman English class" who actually gave us more challenging assignments. I last saw them on the day of our 50th anniversary (Class of '62) and Bill gave me a shirt since my luggage had been delayed. It was to be my last sight of them, though on leaving it was evident to all I would never see Maura again. Loved them both!

I had 3 years of Latin an accelerated English class with Mr. Kehoe. In the latter class, he gave out a list of great writers and very good ones. I took it to the Rochester Public Library and read the complete works of one author after another - Jane Austin, Tolstoy, Bronte sisters, Hemingway and on and on. What a rich and lasting classical education in itself. It has influenced my whole life. And of course, I did have an awful crush on him ? Hope he is in heaven now. God Bless you.

Your Mom and Dad were some of my dearest friends during HS at Penfield. At our 50th reunion he lent me a shirt for dinner as my baggage hadn't caught up. I remember touching your Mom's hand as I left, knowing I probably wouldn't see her again. They were special people!

Was he a professor at Ocean County college?

Very glad I had a chance to reconnect with Bill, briefly, before he passed, and I will never forget him, and all the times he was there for me. He was the most kind and giving person I have ever known.

Dr. Kehoe was a wonderful teacher who inspired and truly cared about us students of University of Ryukyu's. He was a visiting professor assigned to Okinawa, Japan from 1982 until 1984.

We are very saddened by the loss of our beloved teacher. Some of the class of 1985 English-majored students had reunions in Tokyo and Nago, Okinawa this October. Attached is a card prepared by the students for Dr. Kehoe in hopes of delivering to him.

He was a visiting professor for a two year assignment sponsored by the Ministry of Education of Japan.

We are very saddened by the loss of our beloved teacher and would like to dedicate messages from some students who had reunions in Tokyo and Okinawa, Japan in Oct. of this year.

We have attached a memory card signed by the students who were hoping...

To all the Kehoe children and on behalf of the hundreds of his de facto adopted children, his many students, let me say how truly blessed we were to have such a great teacher, as Bill was blessed with such a loving wife. We miss them! Bill taught me three years of Latin, two years of Russian, and a year of English at Penfield High School and inspired me ultimately to become a high school teacher after 32 years in International Banking. We spent many happy hours together not only in upstate...
