He oh so loved you girls and all of his grandchildren. You were so good to him. He was always going out to watch his grandkids play sports or out to lunch with you daughters. He was so blessed.

He raised you all so right.

He will be missed here at the Broadmoor. But we have great memories as of course you all do. Cherish his memories.

This world is a better place for having known the likes of James McKeever. He was a corker, he was. Very special in his own way, like your grandpa, Bud. I look forward to dying and seeing them again, with my dad. Just not this week. I'm sorry I never played golf with him.

Your Loving Cousin, Jim.
