Born in Iowa, Paddy relocated to Southern California with his Mom, Dad and (2) siblings in 1907. Family settled in farming community of Hueneme (now Port Hueneme)in 1914, where they farmed commercially.
The children, (now five in number) Paddy, Ralph, Irene, Ethel and Freda McKeehan, went to school in nearby Oxnard. The Girls married and lived elsewhere in California. The (2) brothers chose to stay in the area.
Paddy found the love of his life Carmelina Cuccatto, who also went to Oxnard schools. They married about 1922. The absence of children, however, but a strain on their marriage which got worse with Paddy's substance abuse of alcohol. They divorced, amicably, after 30 years of Marriage.
Another marriage to a young lady, resulted in the birth of first a girl, then a boy . . and his 2nd divorce.
Paddy died in 1969, never knowing that, in 1971, his teenage daughter died in a car crash. His daughter Patricia, now rests in this same site, in grave 7c. His son, however grew to adulthood, married and gave him the granddaughter that, sadly, he never knew.
#1 wife never stopped loving him - just couldn't live with his alcohol abuse. Knowing, he was alone, she made a point of checking on him periodically. As fate would have it, when he died, Carm was the one who found him.
He now rests in this beautiful place, Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, with his Mom, Dad, Uncle Harry and his only daughter.
