Dear Matt,
I was so sorry to hear that you lost your dad so suddenly and too soon. He sounds like he was a wonderful person, but I would have known that anyway since he raised such a special young man. I know it will be very difficult without him physically in your life, but you will always have him in your heart and watching over you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the O'Keefe family,
I am so sorry for your loss and extremely sad. Dennis was my son Mikeys basketball coach, we were the green team and were undefeated. What a great coach he was, so kind and understanding. He made the game fun for the kids and everyone loved him. He was a special man who will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the entire O'Keefe family I second my brother Kevin's thoughts. Reading the news I see Kevin carried on his father's passion of involvement in community. May you all be surrounded by stories, laughter, tears and love at this time. A toast to all those who have traveled on to the big Feis in the clouds.

to the O'Keefe family,
Dennis was my son Matthew's basketball coach and one of the nicest men I have ever met. He always had a smile, and a kind word to say to all the kids, and always made Matthew feel good about himself. That seemed to be his priority,and winning or losing was secondary to being a good sport.
I did not know Dennis that well but will always apppreciate how he treated my son,and from what I saw,all the children that he coached.
I will miss his warm smile and the chats we had.
I pray that his spirit lives on,and that his memory provides comfort to his loved ones.
David Cohen(Matthew) and family.
