On behalf of the Leary and Pritchett Families, I want to offer support for the Keefe Family, particularly my good friend and mentor, Tom. The parishes and schools in Diocese across the country are better off because of Jack Keefe's life passion.

I have fond memories of me and my children visiting Wanda and the Keefe family in Seaford. You could almost always find Jack in the den with the latest book he was reading. I am sorry I have lost touch after attending Wanda and Jack's 50th wedding anniversary. I would love to be able to contact Wanda personally. Please accept my condolences. God bless you all.
