Paul A Keany (PAK) was one of my favorite people in my life, and one of the most popular people in my college days. We were fraternity brothers in Phi Mu Delta, a "jock" house at U Maine in the 1960s. Paul was also one of the best athletes I've known, being on the Omaha World Series baseball team from U Maine, and an all-New England halfback on the only bowl team Maine had, the Tangerine Bowl of 1965. At one time, he and I were the only two men in our fraternity who were not majoring in Phys Ed. Paul was in Civil Engineering, I was in Mechanical. I remember if there was a party off somewhere, and it was a tad dull, when Paul arrived, everything changed, he could light up the place so fast with his energy and smile, seriously! A few years later, in 1970, I was a 1st Lieutenant at Ft. Bliss in El Paso TX, for Vietnamese Language School, just prior to my embarcation to Vietnam. Some friends and I went to the Officer's Club, where someone overheard me saying something about Maine. He looked a little like Paul, and he asked me if I knew Paul Keany. It was his cousin, also an Army lieutenant. Sadly, some time after I returned from Vietnam, I learned from Paul that he didn't make it home. I know Paul took that hard. Whenever I think of Paul, I picture his wide smile, as I know everyone else does. Hope to see you again some day, Paul... Monty D Vogel

My seven year-old, woke up this morning and told me he had a good dream. When I asked him about his dream, he said he was dreaming that we were having a big party and Paul was there. ❤️ Paul must be having a great time in heaven. Prayers and thoughts for his loved ones. Here’s an invitation for anyone in Phoenix to attend an Easter service at CCV. It is also available online. https://ccv.church/easter?ma-platform=ios&rckipid=EAAAAPs90VFO6CPDWJ6n2uKF075eFBk0pwF9jH7WVTHjlzoU3R!2fYW3fKszkVS6Vxw9spyDnx28AVgc3pZiMwmcb2PMM!3d

My family met Paul at Fresh Start Church and he was so easy to love and have conversations with. He was so zealous in personality but also in his zeal for the Lord! His passion for the Lord and Fresh Start Church was so great to see, always worshiping with his shoes off and outside of his chair. He was always so kind to everyone around him, loving and full of laughs and smiles. Conversations about his testimony finding the Lord after years of not and how good the Lord was. He always spoke of his children and how they were and loved hearing stories of what he was sharing with them in his faith. I am deeply saddened to hear and will miss seeing him but am grateful to have known him and his faith, our family will miss him dearly. He was a light to be around.
