I worked with Tom at the Alzheimer Society. Tom would come into my office with the greeting 'There she is... the most beautiful girl in the office.' We would happily exchange pleasantries (often about shoes) and a few moments later, I would hear him greet my colleague in the next office with the exact same line. With anyone else, that might get old - but Tom could pull it off. We all really liked him and his work as a speaker and board member made an important impact.

I had not seen Mr. Keough in long time but I sure have some great memories of Mrs. Keough and him out at Bird Lake. Mr Keough was the kind of person you just loved being around. Friendly, kind hearted, giving, funny, and of course his infectious smile is how i will always remember him. God Bless.

I had the pleasure of getting to know your dad at Oakview where I looked after your Mom. Tom was so dedicated to her and he was a true inspiration to all of us. I maintained the friendship over the years and visited your Dad both at Kiwanis and Deer Lodge. He was so proud of all of you and your families. He was a good listener and helped me through many trials and tribulations of my own life. I will never forget your Dad. He really was one of a kind. My very deepest sympathy. I will miss him, our visits and his phone calls that always cheered me up.Betty Bender

I worked with Tom when he volunteered on the Speaker's Bureau with the Alzheimer Society. Tom was a delight to work with and an inspiration to all who heard him. He was a compassionate and charming man who touched many, I feel fortunate to have known him.

Mr. Keough has always been very friendly and helpful with us when my husband and myself bought furniture (and we bought a lot, our house was all teak) at the house of teak. I am sure his family was very proud of him. My husband too passed away and I am in a retirement home, with some of my teak furniture of course. Renate Nolius
