Eric, I love you very much and will miss you forever. Like the father I never had you always was there for me and mentored me when I came into teaching. You help prepare me for the Department of Education from a mental perspective. I will always cherish the Friday basketball recreations we had getting the best out of all the competition after school in 151. All the times you used to pick me and Shannon up in the morning car pooling for us to 151. Everything you ever did for me I am eternally grateful. RIP Eric A. Keyes Love You 4 Life!!!

My condolences to the Keyes family, from Brother Roberson Mt Zion Lodge #1

Eric was a principled man. He stood for what was right and honorable. I have many memories of Eric A.Keyes from the first time we met in Atlantic City and the many BBQs and dances we attended. However, one of my fondest memories of Eric was remembering the speech he gave as the best man at my wedding. His speech was engaging and comical. My wedding guests were amused as they did not realize Eric , with his serious demeanor, was a natural comic. I pray God continues to keep watch over Debbie and that she has many happy memories to uplift her.

Good afternoon Today I mourn the loss of my Brother, and my friend Eric A. Keyes, what an impression he left on me. He was an icon within the Masonic Organization, A man of principle , truth, wisdom; a man among men. A man who had no problem telling the truth even when it made him unpopular. He lead by example and was generous with his time and money. His deep love and respect for humankind and the Masonic Order will be missed. May the great architect of the universe show favor on my brother. God bless. Rest in power my Brother.
