Obituary

Richard Keough, or Dick to his family and friends was a man of honor. Educated at Le Moyne Jesuit College and Syracuse University where he earned his Jurist Doctorate. Added to this education his world view was widened with time in the U.S. Navy. Starting as a Seaman Recruit and ending as Commander. He was a hero to his younger brother Robert. For his parents Catherine Ryan and Joseph Keough, they were proud of these accomplishments, it was their American Dream.

Originally born in Syracuse and later moving south to Miami and Boynton Beach, FL, Richard worked for the IRS as an estate tax attorney for many years.

Dick deeply loved his wife Linda, his children Brian and Joanna and their children, Micheal, Brandon, Joseph and Daniella. Affectionally known as "Papa" he was loving and funny. In addition to his grandkids, he also had a gigantic heart for his fur kids, Tigger and Chloe.

Dick loved scouting and being an example for young men. He had an emended interest in history especially World War II. He loved woodworking and building models. He was an avid reader and was extremely generous to many charities and causes. Always calm, reliable and always willing to lend some good advice or a helping hand. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Wounded Warriors, one of the many charities he supported. https://support. woundedwarriorproject.org/
