Title: Mike Keeley
Post by: RDTroja on Oct 12, 2018, 09:29

Mike Keeley, a man I have had the honor to call my friend since his first outage at Calvert Cliffs in 1979 (1980?) passed away after a severe illness on Wednesday. I do not have the exact details, but I know his condition was rare and the progression very swift. I worked with him last April at St. Lucie and talked with him as recently as July and I had no idea anything was wrong.

I have no information at this time about any memorial services or other plans. If anyone has or gets information please post it here.

I also have no words to adequately describe how good a man Mike was. I have never met anyone that had a bad word to say about him. He was an excellent technician, leader, organizer and simply one of the best people I have met in this business. I, for one, will miss him very much. My very heavy heart goes out to his family and friends. I am sure that all of them feel the same way I do.

Rest in Peace, my friend, and God speed.

Worked with him at Lucie in 05 nights.  One of the best superVs and just best guys in general I have ever worked with/for.  Taught me alot...just a very good man.  Was the picture of health too.  Extremely sad.

I am really sorry to hear about Mike's passing away. Heard it from an old friend, by email, that he was gone. I had not kept up with him since the late 80's early 90s, but he was always fun to be around. Like the other notes above, he was a good tech. that could always be counted on and a great mentor with plenty of patience. I looked up his obituary and the picture of Mike was how I remember him, smiling and keeping us smiling. Seems you always think you would get in touch "one day" but that time sometime never comes. I hope the best for his family.

So many great memories working with Mike at CRIII, Turkey, St. Lucie, Hatch, Fitz and Nine Mile. I'll never forget crashing the ABB party at the Quay in Key Largo. Oh What A Night!!

R.I.P. my friend.

Mike was one of my favorite supervisors and we had good times after work in Miami and Key Largo many years ago. A fine Man and so sorry to hear he passed away. He always showed concern and ready to help out. Prayers to all the family, he will be missed.
