Both Bob and Betty were wonderful people and helped make our neighborhood a friendly happy place and kind of a close community. With the lose of them and other close neighbors, it's not the same.

To brothers Bob and Steve: Just learned about your father today (March 9, 2014) while trying to look up people from YCC in Moosehorn for 1978. Sorry to hear about it. Hope you read this. Cathy Lewis Murphy, Machias, Maine

Kathy and John we are so sorry for your loss.

To The Keane Family ~ We just learned of Bob's passing and send our deepest sympathy to the family. He was a remarkable man with the most wonderful sense of humor! During the time he and Betty lived in Jay we visited often as you all were just a few feet down the road from us. He was a very special man and it's comforting to know he's together again with his beloved Betty.

A great loss,a man of incredable values,from family to God.He will be missed. God bless the Keanne Family

Keane Family
Your dad's yearly trip to the Breaks was a marvel in my eyes. Long after many would have given up having the ground serve as your bed and taking what ever the weather threw at you in stride, Senior would be there every October. Inspirational.
Being with Bobby was the draw for him to spend all those days on the CMR. But he also was fond of giving a lesson or two in cribbage. A tough man to beat.
I will miss him.

A very special man whose heart touched us all. My love to all the Keane family

John- You and all your family are in my prayers. Your dad was someone special, and your memories of him will help you through this difficult time. Roy

Dear Keane Family,

I worked for Bob many years ago in the Personnel Office, after moving back to Maine from Boston. I have often said that he was the best to work for....fair, kind, with a sense of humor and tons of respect for his staff.

One example of his caring was, in the days before AC, when the temperature in East Annex rose into the high 80s, he would tell us to go home early, while he stayed to cover the phones. He was invested in the success of all of us.

I am so sorry for your loss, as I know it is a heavy one.

Sincerely,

Cathy Marquez

Mary, John and all the Keanes,

So Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I know it is difficult but your his memory will always linger. Just know he is in a better place with Betty.

We are so sorry for your loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Keane Family, I was so sad to read about Bob's death this morning. I worked for Bob during his tenure at the University of Maine and thought of him often after his departure for Colby College. When I read the wonderfully detailed obituary, it brought to mind when I typed his thesis for his masters. Bob was intelligent, thoughtful, and kind. I enjoyed working with and for him, as he was a fair and fun-loving man. Bob was the epitome of a "gentle man." My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. May God comfort each of you.

Our condolences to the family of Bob, Bob was a great Guy and will be missed by all
