Thank you for the kind messages. They each mean so much during a difficult time. To know my dad touched each of your lives, helps to keep his memory alive for it is within each of our memories that he continues on.

With much love,

Please accept my sincere condolences to the McKeague Family. Many years ago, my dad worked with Pat on the RR. Nightly, we would hear RR stories and what a kick Pat was. Sadly, we lost my dad in '83. Pat attended my dad's wake telling us what my dad meant to him. Your husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend left quite an impression. May the stories, memories and love he left with you fill your hearts.
