Bill Keane

Bill was born on March 15, 1962, in Santa Monica and graduated from Palisades High in 1979. He graduated from USC in 1983. While at USC, Bill was an active member of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity sharing many lifelong friendships.

Bill married the love of his life, Denise Guitteau, on July 29, 1989. Bill and Denise share the love of two beautiful children, Katie and Patrick. Bill was devoted to his children and took great pride in their many accomplishments.

Bill loved and lived life to the fullest and his enthusiasm was contagious. He was an avid movie fan with a specific passion for classic old movies. Bill would often be seen rolling out the red carpet for his annual Oscar Party complete with ballots and prizes! Bill was without a doubt the most optimistic and positive person, and his spirit will remain with all of us. He was always present with a large smile which lit up the room, had a weakness for homemade cherry pie, loved music, and couldn't wait to find "a beautiful woman" to swing around the dance floor!

Bill touched so many lives and we are blessed to have known such a beautiful and inspirational man.

In addition to his wife and children, Bill is survived by his father, Bill Sr.; stepmother, Sue Keane; mother, Sally Keane; and his sister, Stacy Keane.
