Ed Keefer

I was saddened to hear of Ed's passing. I met Ed when I was a young pharmacist at American River Hospital. I was there from 1966 until mid 1972. If I remember correctly Ed was a pharmaceutical representative for Roerig Pharmaceutical company? He was such a friendly and outgoing guy and we hit it off grandly. If I could hit a golf ball that straight, I'd be a pro. We were always laughing together. He and I both had Jeffs as our sons' names. Our Jeff was also a Hornet. "Stingers up!" Bobbie and I didn't have a Jennifer but a Kimberly & Kristen. I met Sue once or twice sometime in those 6-1/2 years at A.R. I transferred to Mercy San Juan in 1972 and didn't see Ed as much I wanted to. I retired in 2010. In fact, I ran into Ed (but I left him unscathed) ) at the Raleys market on San Juan & Sunset about 3 years ago when i was doing a relief stint at the pharmacy and it was sure great to see that smile again. Can understand why he was so active in hight school and college. His "Duffers" club sounds like a lot of fun too. I've gone to a Friday morning breakfast club composed of many of our retired FOP church members since 2010. Some call it a "Out of Luck" & not a "Joy Luck" club but there are a lot of laughs. Sadly, we lost one to Covid since we stopped meeting because of the pandemic back last March.
My prayers and thoughts go out to Sue and the family. May God bless and keep you all in His care.
Love in Christ,
Vince Sue
P.S. Sue. If you don't mind. Can you send me your email address? I tried calling but I had a
deleted number. Thanks.

I was sorry to read of Ed's passing in the Sacto Bee and my condolences go out to his family. I worked a bit with Ed in Sacramento on a construction related project and I enjoyed his company and found him to be a very caring and up lifting person to be around! Rest in peace my friend!
