A Tribute to Tom McKeever From a friend October 17, 2002We have lost someone dear to us. A son, brother, father, and friend to so many is gone. We have lost those musical magic fingers that gave us such pleasure on the keyboards. Jazz will never sound the same. Never seeing that white hat perched on your head again... or seeing the twinkle in those Irish blue eyes... your chess mates will miss you, just as will those friends who went on the Sunday afternoon fields trips with you. Some who went with you exploring the countryside, seeing parts of New Mexico through your eyes, will miss your enthusiasm for life. Your coworkers are surely saddened at losing their friend as well as their most able cohort. Your kind, generous, caring nature was legend among your friends. Those of us who were privileged to sit with you over a beer and a"bourbon and diet" to talk about music, work, airplanes, cars, family, Ireland, and so on and so on are at a loss. The world's a little less wonderful now, but the angels are dancing in Heaven! You left us too soon, Tom.
