Joe was my son´s Little League coach for 2 years. My son loved him. Joe was a great coach, a great role model, the kind of guy every kid wishes to have as a dad. God bless Joe Keohane.

Incredibly Giving and caring guy. You couldn’t ask for a better person. Always had time for everyone in the neighborhood to help or just chat. Meant a lot to me growing up there with him and his Wonderful family. God speed to the family and friends.
