Now that you two are together, now that there is no more pain, now maybe you can enjoy without the worries of life. The stresses of life that bear so much, the love that endured the years of trials. The family will continue I'm sure with both your spirits watching loving and waiting for us all to be together once again. You both are missed so much your love and example will follow for generations, the pieces of our hearts all six plus went with both of you. Thank you for without you both we would not have life.
We owe so much gratitude for which you both endured through the times of so much controversies. looking forward to being together again.
I love you Daddy, I had no idea how many people you helped. I love you mother I will see you soon. Half my heart is gone. Without a foundation the building cracks.

1/13/2018 Daddy....Mom has left us to join you. May you all be happier. Love you both and will always miss you! Right back at ya!!!!

Always thinking of you. Keeping you in my memories.

Grandpa, it's been a whole year and yet it feels like yesterday I was bringing you your dinner to your room. I have never forgotten about you and never will, and I know that in the worst and best times you have been by my side guiding me and helping me. I love and miss you and one day we'll both be reunited! Love you grandpa! -Kaliopy H.

I was terribly sorry to learn about the death of Elmer Keyes. From his son, Paul, my squash partner, I know that his dad had lived a good and long life. Yet it is always wrenching to lose someone we love. Sojouner Truth said of herself, "I'm not going to die. I'm going home like a shooting star." I think one more shooting star has just gone home. And, I know, since the people we love live on in our hearts, that Elmer Keyes is going to live on in this world for a long, long time. Your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Mary Ni

Sarah and Kelly I am so sorry for the lose of your dad and your grandfather. may i express to you my heart felt sympathy to you in this time of need. May god bless you and bring you happiness in the coming days to come. with love Chris Burnieika

A nice man. Sorry for your loss.

Daddy you have given me the strength to live and now I will continue on without you standing beside me, but I shall always hold you in my heart. Love always.

Dear Connie, Paul, Emily, Pam, David, Billy, & Sarah: I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember childhood days on Hingham Street. I always admired your father's paintings - so expressive. He is with good company, now. May he have everlasting peace. I think about you often. Sylvia Leonard Wareham, MA

Daddy, you are my strength and inspiration to live. May I be able to give this to my children as you have done to me. I love you and will miss you.

Happy Father's Day....you will never be forgotten

Another year has past and I still hear you and sense you about me. Your spirit lives on and I will always remember and love you with all my heart.

Wishing you a happy birthday you will always remain in my heart. Love you

All my adult life I've looked for a man who would compare to Elmer Keyes.I loved him. He and his wife took me in when I was a kid and they taught me everything I know that's good in the world. I love all the kids and miss them and remember them all so often. Emily my best friend David Sara Billy Paul and Mrs. Keyes who taught me all work is honerable. Maryellen Dunn Young

GRANDPA WAS ALWAYS CALLING ME DODEE AND TELLING ME I NEEDED TO SAVE A PENNY AND MAKE SURE YOU PUT MONEY AWAY. SOMEHOW I NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GRASP THAT SKILL LOL. I ALWAYS ENJOYED SITTING NEXT TO HIM IN HIS BED AND HOLDING HS HAND AND HOW ARE YOU DOING DODEE?? YOU KNOW IVERY LOVE YOU RIGHT! HE WAS NEVER ONE TO SAY HIS THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS EVERYDAY BUT WHEN HE DID IT ALWAYS WAS AT THE RIGHT TIME. HE WAS AND STILL IS MY GRANDPA AND I LOVED HIM VERY MUCH AND THERE ISN'T A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I TALK TO HIM AND WISHHE WAS STILL HERE. FOR ME TO EVEN JUST HERE HIS VOICE ON THE OTHER LINE ON THE PHONE WAS COMFORTING. HE WAS A AMAZING ARTIST AND I STILL HAVE SOME OF HIS WORK. HE IS ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN ON ME NOW AND I LOOK TO THE SKY AND WONDER IF HE LAUGHS AT SOME OF THE CHOICES I MAKE... HE WILL ALWAYS BE IN HEART AND I LOVED HIM VERY MUCH AND I STILL DO HE WAS MORE THAN JUST A GRANDPA HE WAS MY FRIEND!

Grandpa, everyday when I take a walk downstairs and pass by your room, I think of you. When I get mad or stand by my word, I know I'm taking after you and staying strong. Through one of my toughest years right now, I know your standing by me watching, and guiding me and when you send me those signs, I know you're close by....love you grandpa and I still miss you!

<3

Happy Father's Day! Your memory lives on in my memory and prayers! I give you this flower so that I can remember the day sitting outside looking at the birds and flowers!
