Mr. Keach was vice principal when I attended Keating. He had a perfwct balance of leadership and comforting a very shy me, and I will never forget him!
Bleesings and peace to family. He was a dedicated, wonderful educator who was loved!

I had Mr. Keach for 8th grade homeroom at Keating. He was always warm and welcoming, and took a genuine interest in all of us. His smile was infectious and he loved to tease. Gary and I had the pleasure of seeing him over the years, both in Pueblo and here in Denver. Truly a man everyone should have the pleasure of knowing.
Our condolences to you, Louise, and to your entire family.

My first meeting with Tom was in the Paper Cup Tennis Tournament. My partner, Ken, and I thought: "We should do well against these two older gents, Tom and Ev. Holy cow, they did they teach us a lesson about tennis. I always enjoyed watching them play. Talk about finesse. Tom and Louise made a great couple.

Mr. Keach was my homeroom teacher in 8th grade. I always enjoyed walking into his classroom because he was so warm and welcoming. His smile was infectious, and he loved to tease. Years later I would see him on the tennis courts and/or at events in Pueblo as well as in Denver. It was always a pleasure.

Tom was a very caring and welcoming person. He made me feel very comfortable in the late 60's and 70's when I was a young teacher and coach. So sorry to hear of this loss. RIP, Thomas.
