It is with a heavy heart and tearful contemplation that we share the following sorrowful news. Our KNBK brother, Sensei Richard McKeever, has been taken from us after a long and courageous struggle. The strength and courage he taught us throughout his life and hard fought battles lifted us up to be better people than we ever believed possible. The love and respect that he and Dolores shared for each other exemplified a fairytale love that the world has been blessed to witness. I have always referred to them as our KNBK Mom and Dad McKeever. Dicks love for Budo and Dolores' lifetime of support for his passion has given us all a standard for which to strive to attain. We will miss you my dear friend. Many tears have already been shed. Our sincere thoughts and prayers will continue to be offered for Dolores and their children and grandchildren. Sweet dreams to you kind sir. You deserve rest in the hands that give comfort and grace.

This past Thursday, Richard McKeever, our dear husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer. My father cherished life and the love of family. He was always there to lend a helping hand, give his support, and hum a Broadway show tune along the way. I will miss him greatly and grateful to God that He gave me such an amazing father.
We will be celebrating his life this coming weekend by gathering for visitation on Friday May 12th from 2-4PM and 7-9PM at Beach-Tuyn Funeral Home, 5541 Main Street (at Cayuga Rd.) Williamsville, NY. Family and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial Saturday morning May 13th at 9:30 at SS Peter & Paul Church, Williamsville. Please assemble at the church. Flowers gratefully declined. Instead, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of Cincinnati - Blue Ash. (www.hospiceofcincinnati.org)
