James E. Keating Jr posted a condolence

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

I always admired Garrett for both his erudition and his sense of humor. At all too infrequent family gatherings we always seemed to seek each other out an engage in great conversation. He was a pleasure to listen to with his wide ranging knowledge and great wit. I wish I had had more opportunities to spend time with him. I know my father loved him like a brother and they shared many life experiences together.

I will remember Dr. Keating was one in a million. He was my mother's OB/GYN as well as mine. There isn't a more compassionate, caring individual than Dr Keating. I will always remember him. My sincere sympathy goes out to his family for this loss

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Dr Garrett Keating. Garry was a person of great integrity and compassion. Not only was he a good friend all thru school, but continued to be as we worked together on the PHS Class of 1946 Reunion Committee which was held every five years for fifty years. He was a pillar in the medical community and will be missed by everyone.

Dr. Keating was my mother, Betty Wilford's, doctor and I have fond memories of him as he took wonderful care of my mother who suffered with various medical problems as I was growing up. I also was a patient of Dr. Keating as an adult woman and he was always kind and gentle. He always took his time and had genuine concern for his patients. We will never forget him and I am still a patient at the practce he began.

I worked with Dr. Keating during my residency and was later a colleague at Muhlenberg. When teaching residents I frequently pass on in his name pearls he taught me that continue to be essential to my practice. I will forever be grateful and respect him always. My condolences to his family.

Dr Keating and his dear wife, Betty were truly special people. Our paths crossed may times over the years, as we were all so committed to our Faith, Families, Friends and Muhlenberg. How Blessed I am to have known them.

My sincere sympathies to the family of Dr. Garrett Keating. Dr. Keating was my OB/GYN for many years in Plainfield, NJ, having delivered one of my children, and one of my grand- children. He also was OB/GYN for my daughters, Wendy and Pamela. He was a fine man, friend and a brilliant physician. His sons were friendly with my two sons in high school. A lovely family. His loss will be felt greatly by family, friends and his many patients in the Plainfield area.

I remember Garry from PHS. Like many we took different trails. As God extended His hand the Doctor rose to go. They will walk through the cool valley and God will hear of family, farm, and many medical stories. How long is the walk to his new home? As long as a memory. Will the grief of loved ones left behind be short and memories forever. In the spring as I stand tall at our family plot I will remember the Good Doctor.

I worked for Dr. Keating both in Plfd and Warren for 10 years. He was the best boss I ever had and the most knowledgeable. He always had a story to tell. I constantly told him that since he always took such good care of the Sisters in the practice, God would definitely let him into heaven. He was very proud of all his sons and loved Betty very much. The farm was his pride and joy. He constantly told me the sisters wanted me to join the convent, but I never beleived him. He had a great sense of humor and was noted at work for his Red Jaguar and His Rat Pack. I will miss him deeply.

Hello Keating family, I just wanted to send my deepest sorrows to the family of Mr. Keating. We all know death can be very hard on us, but I just wanted to share a brief thought with you. There is a wonderful thought in the Bible at John 5:28 and 29 where Jesus “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” This is a very sobering thought for us to know that we'll be able to see our loved ones one day here on earth. Would you like to know how? You can email me at jonest617@yahoo.com or regular mail Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness, 259 Elmwood Avenue, East Orange, NJ 07019 Please be assured that this is not soliciting and is also free of charge to learn more about this hope and others just as wonderful.
