Spencer Burnett brought it to my attention that Joe McKeon, PHS Class of 1967 has passed away. I cannot find an obituary but if you do a Google search with his name plus the word obit and Tennessee, you will find what I found. There is a place to leave condolences there for those who knew him. Of course you can leave them on this page if you want to.
I personally did not know him but I do want to send my deepest condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
