Charlie,
I had the great honor and privilege to be your son-in-law. When I married Cathy, you took me into the arms of the family and offered the love, advice and support of a father. You shared the family stories with me. You were always there for Nathan, Andrew & Brian as you attended all their events from birth to college graduations. How many times did you baby sit, watch baseball, soccer, football and basketball games, or sit through music programs and jazz concerts? You were always there for us!
I will miss our special times together, especially my stopping by to chat at your home in Niantic after Wednesday night sailing, or going out for a boat ride, or playing a game of golf. I will miss your jokes, your stories, your encouragement and your interest in all our lives. And, you always ended our conversations by asking me how my mother was doing.
I will miss you dearly, Chief, but I'll always remember the joyous times we've had together, with my family and the entire Keefe clan. There is a lot of love there. You did a good job, sir. Rest in peace.
With my love,
David
