Thomas J. Keane

Thomas was born on July 20, 1935 to the late Maurice and Mary (Curran) Keane in Manhattan. He worked briefly for the Department of Corrections, before embarking on a twenty-five (25) year career in the New York City Fire Department attaining the rank of Lieutenant. Following his retirement he worked for the United Parcel Service, and Chestnut Ridge Transportation. He was a devout Roman Catholic who grew up a Brooklyn Dodger and New York Giant Football Fan. His allegiance then turned to the New York Mets when the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. His devotion to his faith, family, and friends was similar to his allegiance to the New York Mets. Despite the performance he could never quit providing love and support.

He is also survived by his eight (8) cherished grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
