My first memory was meeting Jimmy and Joey when their parents were buying their first house in Blenheim NJ. We would play baseball from sun up to sundown. Jimmy and Joey were my best friends, and I spent a lot of time with the Mckeever family. They would bring me to church and Kawana´s with them. I´ve always admired the type of guy Jim was. Total family man who work led hard and put God first. Tbh I still admire him. I truly hope that Mckeever family finds peace quickly. God bless you guys. Sincerely, the Horn family.

Jim McKeever was truly a man who gave of himself to the Community of Washington Township. As Director of Public Works he was committed to ensuring that all services render to the public were superior. As Mayor I hired Jim and he indeed was an excellent choice . He was respected by his staff and brought new and creative leadership in making Washington Township a Premier Community. His friendship will be sorely missed.
