We have so many fond memories of him at our N.Woodstock wedding, Boca Teeca CC, St. Lucy's St. Patrick's dinner/dances. A generous, caring, full of life man who will be missed by all the fortunate people to come into his life. Our thoughts and prayers are with Virginia and his loving family.

Moe and Patty,
My first memory of your Dad was one of those nights we were working on the Sports Night float, a few beers etc. The next day your Dad comes out and "states did we have any wild parties and we all panic. While "coach" then brings out this HUGE bra-asking if any of us were missing this? We all sighed a big one while laughter filled the air! From that point on the memories grew with camp Bernadette, Christmas eve and list grows. Steve was as amazed with our visits to Lincoln and golf. What a wonderful man and I am blessed to have him a part of my life along with both of you, Kathy, Eileen and your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Virginia, I am at a loss to remember when the Coach first made an impact on me. It might have been in the Bronx or on Long Island on one of the many occasions the Jaegers got together with the Keegans ( and the Harveys and Murphys). However, one event I have always remebered was in January of 1968. I was a few days from reporting for duty in the US Navy. Bobby, Ed Harvey and my Dad took to me to lunch in lower NYC, which almost lasted until dinner. As usual, Bobby was his entertaining and gracious self. We will miss him.
