Dear Keenan Family,
Know that Uncle Gerry will be in our thoughts and prayers, as will Vince and Dan. The baby of the Keenan clan will now have time to be with his Little Baby Angel. May they all be at peace. Take care.

I could not have asked for a more clever, funny, interesting, or loving father in law.
Gerry was always good for a joke, inventive curse, ironic comment, and curious endearment ('babe' was his favorite and applied to all).
I feel so lucky to have known him as a friend.
