Christopher J. Keating III, \u201cSkeeter\u201d, 63, of Norwood NJ, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, March 7, 2024. He was predeceased by his parents, Christopher J. Jr. and Mary Elaine Keating and his sister, Mary E. Keating. He was survived by his step-mother, Eleanor Purdy Keating and brothers, Wayne and James Purdy and wife Laura. Loving uncle of Michael and Justin. He also was a part of a loyal chosen family, from coast to coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris \u201cSkeeter\u201d grew up in Norwood, NJ and was a pillar of the community. He attended Catholic School, Northern Valley High School and Bergen Community College for his associates degree. Chris spent 25 years as a custodian in the Northvale Public Schools. During that time, he touched many lives and his memory will be kept alive by all the coworkers, kids and parents that he came in contact with. He was a very dedicated employee that took pride in knowing the job was done correctly. He recently retired from St. Thomas Aquinas College and was planning on a full life of adventure in retirement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skeeter was like clockwork and you could tell time by him. He never hit the jackpot in the lottery but he hit the jackpot in life with the community that surrounded him. People will be telling \u201cSkeeter\u201d stories and use his sayings for many years to come. He was a firm believer in supporting our troops. He was the guy at the cemetery that would fix all the flags for veterans. He was also a \u201cSon of the Legion\u201d and proud of being the son of \u201cChristopher J. Keating Jr.\u201d who served in WWII and was part of \u201cThe Greatest Generation\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skeeter loved motorcycles and old cars. He loved lending a helping hand whenever he could. He had a heart that was full of love and he wasn\u2019t afraid to show his love. His quirky knowledge and consistency was his charm. Anyone who was fortunate enough to call him family or friend can say they hit the lottery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As \u201cSkeeter\u201d would say, \u201cGod Bless America and God Bless our Troops\u201d.  He would say to everyone, be happy and be true to those you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting hours are Saturday, March 16, 2024 from 9 – 11 AM at Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Avenue, Northvale with a funeral service at 11 AM.  Interment will follow at Tappan Cemetery, Tappan, NY.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donations may be made to an animal rescue organization of your choice in memory of Chris’s beloved Dutchess.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
