William Keegan Obituary

I have fond memories of Bill - a great guy a good friend back in Westchester - my condolences to his family...

Bill was a consummate PR pro and well regarding in our field. Always a classy guy. So sorry to hear this news.

Terry and Maureen,

Although we never knew your brother Bill, we have come to learn from all these heartfelt condolences that he was a very special person. May the Lord hold Bill and you and all your grieving family in the palm of His hand.

Janelle & family, so sorry for your loss. Bill was a wonderful colleague of mine in those early days of Apple. I always valued his advice and counsel.He always had a smile and a great positive attitude. Diana and I have you, Janelle and the family, in our thoughts and prayers. Thinking of you at this difficult time. God Bless You All. Tom & Diana Fitzgerald

My most heartfelt condolences to the Keegan family. I knew Billy back in grammar school and he was a good guy all the way back then. I am sure Billy will missed, but his love and good cheer was a blessing from God for all the lives he so richly touched! Rest in peace William.

I was stunned and deeply saddened by this news. Billy was my first roommate at St. Mary's. He was the suave guy, really cool type. I was not. I loved him. He was always kind. We shared many memories and I can recall them as if just yesterday. He was a good guy.
Even when it is time, the heart is never ready to let go of the one we love. God bless the family and I hope you find some solace in the love, friendship, and spirit that Bill brought to so many.

Greatly saddened to learn of "Keegs" passing. I know Billy had many admiring friends, and I am proud to have been one of them. The world has lost someone very special. Please accept my sympathy on your sad loss. Yours truly,

So many people counting their blessings for having Billy in their lives. I wish I could have been there to celebrate and grieve with all of you. My heart and prayers go out to Janelle, the girls, Colleen, Terry and Mrs. Maureen Keegan and all of Bill's nieces and nephews. Bill had such a warm and welcoming smile. He left the world better than he found it.

Cousin Billy:
A priest once said:
Where there is love, that is what makes the passing of a good friend so difficult
but is in that love that we take solace and comfort in all the fond memories we shared.
The best compliment ever from your mentor Whitey was you can be in my foxhole anytime...I know he felt that way and I can only second that strong espirit de corps. Thanks for all the good times together fighting the good fight in your early PR career and all the many kindnesses afforded to this Quirk family.
Now enjoy the fruits of all the goodness you brought into this world in your eternal life after your hard fought fight.
The Dennis Quirk Family

Till we meet again......

My sympathy to the Keegan family. Bill was a wonderful guy. Wishing you peace during this tender time. Ron Sowa

Keegan Family,

Very sorry and sad to hear of Billy's passing....our deepest condolences to all of the Keegans. Billy showed his strength of character as he courageously battled this terrible disease with his characteristic positive attitude, strong faith and physical and mental toughness. Always knew Billy as an upbeat, friendly, fun-loving guy to be with and as a creative and consummate marketing and PR professional.
As admirable as his professional life and many accomplishments, his most important and enduring legacy will be as a devoted and loving family man, and a caring and supportive husband, father, son and brother. May your fond memories and fun times provide you comfort now and forever. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I was sad to hear of the passing of a wonderful friend. I had the pleasure of knowing Bill for many years. It started out living on Bristol Ave in Westchester and continued thru our college years. No words can comfort you at this time but may you, your daughters and the Keegan family know what a true gentleman Bill is. I am honored to have called him my friend.

I just saw the video, It is breathtaking and is a photo testimony of the love you all have shared! My heart breaks for you all. You are in my constant thoughts and I continually pray you all will be given the strength you need. Billy was an amazing husband, father and friend. I feel blessed to have known him. May our Lord watch over and protect you all. I love you all so much!

Janelle,
