Arthur W. Keenan

Keenan, Arthur W. “Bill” of Weymouth, formerly of Hull, died December 28 , 2018.

Bill started his working career at an early age on the clam flats in Hull and at Paragon Park Amusement Center. At the age of 17 he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. He was later honorably discharged and he returned home to go on to build his own home improvement and construction company. Bill enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, his furry friend Buddy, traveling, a good joke, classic cars, and playing cribbage. He could often be found happily watching a Red Sox game or the Patriots on T.V. and also enjoyed automobile auctions and Nascar.  He was a long time member and past Exalted Ruler of the Weymouth Elks. Bill was a man who hated long goodbyes and upon parting let you know it with a quick heartfelt “GOODBYE!” as you were parting ways.
