My prayers and condolences go out to the entire family. I started my police career when I became a part-time officer with the Canton Police Department in 1978. I then became a full-time officer there until I accepted a position with Bloomfield PD in 1994.
Chief Keefe was a great guy to work for. I have a host of great memories and stories from that time period…I tried not to upset him too often. Working for him helped mold me into the cop I was to become…and throughout my career I often thought of him.
I have since retired and moved to Florida…I was asking about Chief Keefe recently as I knew even way back then he spent a lot of time down here. I sadly missed my chance to reconnect with him…I guess it will have to wait a bit until I get that chance to see him again.
God Bless You All…..Rest in Peace Chief
