John D. O'Keefe

Dear John, I only just discovered that you had passed, after nearly 30 years, I wanted to reconnect with you, I looked you up too late. I´m so sorry that I let so much time pass and lost the chance to reconnect. I love you dearly and I miss you! You were my best friend growing up! Sincerely, Bob Audette

Danny,I can only now even begin to wrap my mind around the fact your gone. I pray for you every day still. It was hard to have to add you to my list of past family member's souls. So now it's "God bless Dad, Mom and Danny". You were my big brother, my friend, sometimes my protector as we grew up. I will miss you until, God willing we meet again. I hope that your loving wife, Debbie can find peace in her life.

Dear Debbie,

I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I considered John a friend and an excellent supervisor. I will think of him always.

Dear Debbie, May it be a source of inner strength to know that there is a loving God watching over you, and that throughtout this time of need, He'll stay close by your side.

It was to soon to happen, but God only takes the best. We all loved you so much and we will all miss you. You were the best uncle to me and Thank you for teaching me how to fish. Love Natalie

Danny, It still feels so wrong to imagine your gone. I miss you terribly everyday. I will always treasure our childhood memories and the hysterical memories we shared as adults. You always made me laugh and thanks for making many happy memories for my children. You will always be cherished in our hearts. Keep them laughing in Heaven till we meet again. Love you

Uncle Danny, an icon in my life, someone I looked up to so much. I miss you. My Godfather. I love you. Momma and Poppa are sure to be much happier now, having you with them. I am glad you are at peace and can't wait to see you again. Until we meet again...

Uncle Danny,
I will miss you so much! I will never forget growing up and combing your mustash, and your great "hunger" for life! You are someone I will always look up to and respect! I love you!

John will be greatly missed. I will always remember the fun times we had at Easter, playing games & laughing the whole time. But most of all I will remember that great smile he had.

John,
To the love of my life, I miss you more and more every day. I love you with all my heart.
Your wife,
Debbie

Sorry to post twice, there was a computer glitch.

Danny, I will always remember the good times, from the time we all picked up your orange Volkswagon and moved it, to your toast at our wedding, when we never thought it would end. (I have pictures). Although, I haven't seen you in years, that changes nothing. You were Godfather to my daughter and you fulfilled that obligation. She will miss you dearly as well.
Now, as one Cop to another, I know where you are.
Kevin, Billy, Chris and Colleen, Danny is in a better place, his work on earth is done. He will now rest high on that mountain.
We will miss him dearly.

"Danny", I know I haven't seen you in many years, but that does not change the memories I have of you, and very funny moments with the O'Keefe family. This is how I will remember you. I thought you would fall out when we went out and picked up your Volkswagon off the street and moved it. My fondest memory of you is the toast you did at our wedding, we thought it would never end ! But that was you ! You were my daughters Godfather, and that is respected. She will miss you dearly as well. "Keep the key, my brother in law enforcement", my ex brother-in-law, Love Ya Man ! We will always be as one.

Deb,
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.
I love you and am always here for you.

Dear Big Brother,

I will miss you more than you know. I am so honored and lucky to have had you as my big brother. You always looked out for me and for Bill, Kevin and Christine. Our bond will never break, you will just be looking out for us from the other side. Please give Mom, Dad and all those wonderful O'Keefe uncles of ours big hugs.

Danny,
You will truly be missed. I think to all the funny jokes you would send and how long you and your family have been connected to mine.

Debbie, Billy, Kevin, Christine, Colleen I send my hugs and know I will hold you all in my heart.

Danny I will always remember your laughter and magnanimous spirit.

Love Margaret (mike vasco & mary hutchby's sister)

One shared afternoon to make your acquaintance that will always be remembered. Your happy smile which radiated peace and happiness.

Danny,

A great icon in the O'Keefe family is gone. We mourn and will never be the same without you. We'll meet again.....

Love you with all my heart,

Kelley (and Shannon and Charlie)

Danny was certainly one of those family members that always showed his love and devotion. He will sorely be missed by many. Danny will never leave our hearts or our minds. He was one of the best!!!

Danny ............You were a great cousin to have and, even a greater god father. I will remember you all ways. We'll have lots to talk about someday when we see each other again...Love your God son Jimmy

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Deb, Col, Chris, Kevin, Billy
My heart goes out to all of you. Danny was such a great guy, and will be sorely missed. I know he is in a better place and that he is happy to be with Aunt Tommy and Uncle Jack again. love to you all.

It is a privilege and a pleasure being your cousin, say hello to the old guard, and I hope to see you again some day since I know your 're in Heaven....
Shawn

Dear Uncle John,
I loved you very much and still love you in my heart and it will be there forever. You were a like father for me. You taught me many things to look for in life. Those memories I will hold forever and never let go of. I love you uncle John, my uncle my best friend, my hero. <3

Danny,

As the first born of the O'Keefe cousins we all looked up to you. Right up to the recent 50th birthday party in Chicopee you made it your business to be a part of all the family events (happy or sad). Even after the four brothers passed, we remained a close-knit family. You are already being missed by your cousins & their families. Give our Dads a big kiss for us!! Love you, until we see you again . . .

Dear John,
You were more like a brother to me than a brother-in-law. I am so glad you met and married my sister Debbie. You brought much joy to our family and I will miss you so very much.
Love, Cindy

John,
I love you so very much and am really going to miss your warm touch. I hope that you heard me as you were passing over to the other side. I wish that we had more time together. I will love you always.
Your wife, Debbie
