Patrick Edmund O'Keeffe

To the O'Keeffe family,

Please accept my condolences, I am sorry about your loss. I met Mr. O'Keeffe (as I called him) back in 1989 at work at the Hampton Yacht Club. He stopped by once or twice a month for 15 years. I was fortunate enough to be able to speak to him and get to know him. I always looked forward to him stopping through and he made time to converse whether I submitted an order or not. He had fantastic stories to tell, great advice to offer and a genuine concern that was evident. He and I were able to talk about anything and that is what I treasure about the friendship we shared. Mr. Pat O'Keeffe was a mentor that can not be replaced and is the great soul in my eyes. Ireland seems like such a great place and when I think of Ireland I think of him. Best wishes to the entire family and God Bless you all.

Mrs. O'Keeffe, I am deeply saddened by the lost of your husband. I have known Mr. O'Keeffe for several years. He was the representative at Hampton University for Chemsearch. I work in the purchasing department. I just met his son for the first time a few weeks ago. Mr. O'Keeffe will always be in my heart. And I will miss my chocolate covered cherries at Christmas time. (smile) God's blessing to you and your family. You can reach me at Hampton University Purchasing Department (727-5154) Debbie

Carol, our lives were enriched the moment we met the two of you at the Blinded Veterans.
Later, Kitty and Ed, Tabb, Virginia

To the O'Keeffe Children, Carol & Family,
What a beautiful obituary for Uncle Pat! We are praying for you all at this very difficult time in your lives. Uncle Pat was very special to me and I loved him! Please know we are here for anything you may need - with much love,

To the O'Keeffe Family,

This is such a loss for all of you. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Patrick was one of the most special people on this planet. My memories go all the way back to my childhood - with you Patricia playing at your house in Highland Springs, Kevin as a quiet soul even back then playing with my brother Bubba and you Maureen, such a little duplicate of your mother. I know this will be hard to deal with for all of you, and for Carole. Patrick was larger than life and I know he will continue to look out for all of you from above. We shall miss him so very much.

Hi Carole,
I am so sorry about Patrick. I know you took good care of him and were a great wife and friend to him. If you need anything, please let me know.
