William F. Keane

He was the beloved husband of the late Helen (Fox) Keane, with whom he had shared 54 wonderful years of marriage.

Born in Peabody, MA on July 28, 1921, he was a son of the late John and Irene (Meagher) Keane. William graduated from Peabody High School, and then proudly enlisted in the United States Army. He was active during World War II, and spent much of his time in Europe, ending in Berlin. William was honorably discharged as a Corporal in 1945.

Upon his return home, he settled down with his wife and daughter in Lynn. During his time in Lynn, before moving in with his daughter in Peabody, William worked as a custodian for the City of Lynnfield. He was a member of the American Federal State County Municipal Employees. In his free time, William loved working on cars when he was able. He would often refurbish and sell vehicles he worked on. Above all else though, William loved his family; and the time he spent with his wife, daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, meant everything to him.

Surviving William is his dear daughter, Patricia Ann Denny and her husband Charles J. of Peabody; his grandchildren, Charles J. Denny, Jr. and his wife Angeli of Peabody, and William F. Denny of Peabody; his great-grandchildren, Jared Denny, Angela Denny, Angelo Denny, Andrei Denny, and Scott Denny; his sister, Noreen Dubiansky and her husband Joseph of Deerfield, NH, as well as many other dear nieces, nephews, and loved ones.
