William P. Keenan Sr.

They say true love only happens once in a lifetime- A single dance could change your life. William “Bill” Keenan did just that. A young man of 18 met the love of his life at friend’s house for a birthday- and for the next 66 years he continued to dance until his song finally ended.

Bill Keenan was born and raised in Danbury, CT, a tried and true member of his beloved Hat City. He is survived by his soulmate Gloria Keenan, children Kathy Anne White and William Keenan Jr, their spouses Dean White, Caitlin Keenan, grandchildren Jacob, Jessica, fiancé Justin and Steven- as well as many other extended family members. He is predeceased by his loving parents and older brothers and sister.

Bill Keenan knew what honor was, and before marrying Gloria, was in active duty for the United States Marines. After his departure from the military, William worked at Perkin Elmer on the Hubble telescope. In his free time, he was an active member of the Mad Hatters Chorus and a participant of the Danbury Drum Corps. He cherished the times spent traveling and camping with his family, and watching football and basketball.

The family will have a future celebration of William’s life at a later time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his name to the Danbury Drum Corps, 2 Shalvoys Lane, Danbury, CT 06810.
