Keith Essary Obituary

May the Righteous Ones in Heaven be keeping you in their arms.

In memory of Keith with wonderful memories and a prayer for our neighbor on North Michigan Avenue. Jerry and I always enjoyed our conversations with you- and so glad to still be in touch with your loving wife Margaret. The years may pass by quickly, but fond memories last forever.

Keith - It's been a long time since you went to Heaven, but you are not forgotten. My Jerry of Blessed Memory also is on that long journey, which began on August 14, 2021 - so I hope you two run into each other and can reminisce about life at "151." You and Margaret were always a welcome smile to see those early mornings when I visited the "Gourmet Pantry." She and I have been in long-distance touch, since running into each other on FaceBook - a long distance from North Michigan Avenue. You are missed and thought of often. Your memory is indeed a blessing.

The years go by, but Keith is not forgotten. Jerry and I remember fondly the wonderful friendship of Keith and Margaret - and being greeted with your smiles at 151 North Michigan. May your memory always be a blessing to your friends and loved ones.

Time and distance will never erase the warm and special memories Marion & Jerry have of Keith. He was a friend and neighbor. His witty comments on the news, his love and respect for his wife Margaret, and his dedication to his business ventures. May his memory always be a blessing to his family and friends.

The years pass by, but our lovely memories of Keith remain in our hearts. May his memory always be a blessing.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Essary Family. I just saw the notice of Keith's passing. Our family never forgets the great upbringing we shared in south Cal City. I'd love to say hi to Lynn , Toni, or Jim someday.. Sorry for your loss.

Hi uncle Keith I miss you sooo much!!! You are missed by everybody. Especially Thor. I will see you again. I love you and i think about you EVERY SINGLE DAY XOXOXOXO

Dear Margaret - Very sad to learn of Keith's passing. Remember fondly that wonderful day we met when you were getting the Gourmet Pantry ready to open at 151 N. Michigan. May the wonderful memory of his love and laughter bring you and your family comfort in the days ahead.
Jerry and Marion

God Bless Keith and the entire Essary Family. Jim Konvalinka St.John, In.

Margaret - I just heard about Keith's passing. I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you.

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the service for Keith because I had to go to the funeral of a member of my wife's family. However, I would like to express my condolences on his passing and I do agree with the obituary that Keith was a person who would always lend a helping hand. I am very sad at his passing.

To the Essary Family:
We extend our deepest condolence on your loss of Keith.

We at the wine shop will always remember with joy Keith's sharp sense of humor and beautiful blue eyes. Dee Coutelle
