William P. O'Keefe Jr

Forever in our hearts

Bill, I remember you with such fond memories every time I stop by Redding Roasters or see your beautiful daughter. I miss you every time. Carry on. Best, Joe

This is shocking and sad news. My heart is heavy for someone I knew through his great love of coffee which he shared with me and the world. With sympathy...

What a loss to our world here in the Bethel area. A truly nice man.

I just met him as a customer but always enjoyed our chats

Been 2 weeks and I am obviously not good with acceptance;miss ya Bill

My deepest sympathy to Kate and the family. Bill's warmth, generosity, and wisdom shone through every conversation. I'd look forward to seeing him when I came to CT to see family.

Bill was a great guy and he took the time to ask me about my travels every time I visited the shop. I'm just shocked at his passing. Even though I was an infrequent customer, I will miss him a great deal.

Well its been a week now and I stop cant believe it I never new how many people you help our and touched there lives I may not of seen you as much as I could of and I'm sorry I will always love you uncle bill an every time I see a nice black bike go by or drink my coffee ill always think of you

Words cannot express how sad I was to hear of the sudden passing of Bill O'Keefe. He brought a spark of delightful flavor to Bethel with his coffees and teas. A wealth of knowledge and a knack of matching personal tastes with the right blend. He always had time to discuss the art of coffee growing, world markets, roasting and flavors. I would bump into him in all sorts of places around the area; he on his motorcycle and me on my bicycle. Always a smile, his eyes lit up when we talked about...
