Tom Keaveney To Say You Will Be Missed Would Be An Understatement To Say You Were Special...Very. I Don't Know If There Are Enough Words To Really Describe You, So I Will Just Say This Tom...You Were Like A Sony The One And Only !

Tom always had a smile on his face and a great sense of humor. I went to MN High School with him, and later saw him delivering Pepperidge Farm products at the Newtown Square Acme. I was going through a very bad divorce at the time, and he invited me to see Paul McCartney in concert with him as a friend that needed a break. We talked about being single parents and how he adored his daughter. He had heart! I just saw him several times recently at Caseys and we had great conversations. Tom will always be remembered fondly.

We went to school togather.. first at St Anastasia, then graduated from MN. We had a few classes together. Always a pleasure to cross paths with him at Casey's.

I went back with Tom when at St Annie's. He was such a genuine,funny and sincere friend. last time I saw him was at our 20th reunion for MN class of 70. It was like picking up from yesterday! He was a wonderful soul who will be missed. My condolences and prayers are with you.

We were friends from good old MN High School, drinking buddies after that then played softball together for years in Wayne. Despite not seeing much of each other in recent years, friendships and bonds like that never leave your mind and last forever. They did and will for me. RIP.

Tommy and I grew up together and played basketball for St. Annie's. He could really shoot. He also was a great friend to my mother in law, she thought he was the best. God less you Tommy
