Dad,

One year ago the heavens greeted with you open arms. Your absence on earth is felt every day. You left behind an incredible legacy and you are loved and missed more than you will ever know. Love you always.

Dad,

Maggie and all the Keating epxtended family - I am so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. Nancy and I were out of town and completely missed everything. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Bob was a great friend of many years and will be missed.

To the Keating Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Kate and Steve, Praise the Lord for your dad who had his priorities straight. Tom and I just lost our dad in February. Wonderful men like that are few and far between. May God bring you and your family comfort and peace. God bless.

Dear Bill and the Keating family,

My heart sank today as I read the message that Connie sent me about the passing of Mr. Keating. I called him that from the first day I meet him during my college years in Iowa City. He had the biggest heart and was always so kind to me. The little Canadian he welcomed into his home so many times and shared so many stories with. I will always remember our conversations sitting around the table in that wonderful house on Washington Street that often felt like home away from home thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Keating and my amazing friend Connie. I am so glad that I had the chance to visit in the spring of 2011. May you bask in God's glory for eternity Mr. Keating. The entire Keating family is in my prayers. Love, Susan.

Aunt Maggie and family, Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Uncle Bob was an incredible man and he will be missed by so many. Dawn
