Dear Keefe family,
Gordon's Team wants to extend our sincerest condolences. The General was an inspirational and motivating part of every years walk. He lifted us all up along the route and will forever be an integral part of the Challenge Walk family. We will miss him, but we know his spirit will remain with us all during the 50 miles.
Our thoughts and prayers,
Gordon's Team

Dear Keefe family,
Life is a great experience. However life's experiences sometime can be brutal. Losing someone we love is never easy... It does get easier as time goes by.
John Keefe ...His name says it all, he conquered so much... Nothing was ever impossible and yet there is so much more to be done. For this, he left an extention of his Love with his right arm - his beautiful wife and beautiful intelligent children and grandchildren. They will continue his Legacy, one that has taught everyone of us so much, and no matter who he met and greeted with a hug or a handshake, their lives were changed forever with Hope and Faith.
Our hearts go out to you, your family and friends in prayer and silence we ask our Lord and Father to carry you and your family in his hands and comfort your hearts, dry your tears and fill your hearts with the greatest joy and laughter as you remember John day after day. We are always near - never far . With all our Love Victoria Travaglione and Jaoa Silva.
In God we trust always Amen.

Dear Paula and Family,
Our deepest sympathies to you. John, a true family man, valiant during his tour in combat and valiant in his support of all veterans after. We will never forget the encouragement and support he provided for my family and me. Our conversations will always be a part of me and passed along to my children, grandchildren and to the many students I have taught. Rest in Peace, John, and thank you for your service.

Paula and Family,
God must have needed another angel, at least one that would keep my brother, Martin, company in heaven. My heart breaks for your loss.
Know you are in my prayers.
Sincerely , MaryEllen Hartigan MacDowell
