Keats always brought a smile, I'm so sad he left us. I know I am so late with this but I was going to reconnect with him. I was a parent with him on a AAU basketball team. God bless his family.! I pray they are all well.

Jimmy was always so kind and thoughtful. I always enjoyed his visits and our talks. He always made me smile and laugh. I will miss him and keep him in my prayers. Your mom and dad are now hugging the beautiful son they raised.

To Joanie, and the Entire Keating family, on behalf of the extended Rush clan, our deepest heartfelt condolences on Jimmy’s passing. Keats was the ultimate warrior, and an everyday, every way friend for a long time in our young lives. The stories go on and on. Chuckie, Wayne, Keats, Hundee, Train, the gang that was bigger than life. Even though we were mostly out of touch these last many years, I always considered Keats and the whole gang great friends and Jimmy was a remarkably honorable man. RIP brother - Pat Rush on behalf of the Rush Family

Keating family,
On behalf of the entire Cuozzo family I want to express our deepest condolences on the passing of Jimmy. He was a great guy to our entire family and my parents would always be very happy when Jimmy would come over to visit them. I know he was truly a favorite of my dad.
May you rest in peace Jimmy.

Mr Keating was a very good man and I was stunned to see he passed. He was always visible at his daughters’ events and he is someone who played football for my stepfather and had my Mom as a teacher. I always respected his older daughter and knew my Mom did as well. Prayers to the family. Mr Keating would always have a good word when I’d see him at CHS related events.
