James Gerald Keenan, age 85, Inverness, FL passed away November 22, 2023 in the Vitas Hospice House in Lecanto. He was born in Manhattan, NY on January 15, 1938 to the late John and Margaret (Cawley) Keenan and came to his area in 1998 from New York. He was employed as a stationary engineer for Westchester County, NY. He served our country in the U.S. Army. He was a communicant at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Inverness. Jim was a very kind and loving man and never missed an opportunity to travel to foreign countries. Fishing was his sport of choice. Playing cards with his family made him happy, especially when he won! His laugh was contagious and brought on more laughter. He was very much loved and is dearly missed.
