FYI, I thought you might like to post this information on
your web site http://www.stagnesalumni.org/
Bob and I lived in the same co-op here in Yonkers and we were
both on the co-op’s board of directors. He had been in ill health for a while,
but I am sorry to learn of his passing.
I have notified my counterpart at the Dominican Sparkill
communications office.

KEANE, ROBERT RICHARD
July 07, 2009
Robert Richard Keane, 82, died peacefully in St. Joseph's
Hospital Yonkers, NY on Saturday July 4, 2009. Robert was born in Brooklyn, NY
on February 18, 1927 to the late William and Maude (Brown) Keane. One of 11
children and the last surviving child. He grew up in St. Agnes Home for boys in
Sparkill, NY and attended Tappan Zee High School. He is a "House Kid".
He was married to the late Elizabeth Vanson Keane, and had
four children Robert, William, Loretta and Thomas. He is survived by his spouse
Margaret (Gallagher) Keane, son Thomas, daughter Loretta, grandchildren
William, Courtney, Carly, sistersin-law Catherine Keane and Patricia Forcelli.
Robert served in the US Army and was a 50 year resident of
Yonkers. He had a 41 year career with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and
was a life long Yankee Fan. His love for his country and all things American
only make it fitting that he should leave us on July 4, Independence Day, so we
will never forget him and what this nation stands for.
Bob, you leave a family grateful for your love and support
and many true friends. You will be deeply missed and it has been our good
fortune to have you in our lives. Rest Peacefully. Breathe Easy.
