Dalton and I met at York in 1970 and became great friends. He spent time with my family – Betty and the 4 kids- and often sang for them and with them. Even now – 50 years later – the mention of Dalton’s name and the kids break out into song.
I taught with Dalton and for a number of years we did some projects and courses together. He was a great teacher — probably the best at York in those years – and encouraged many students.
His reaearch and books will stand the te4st of time.
But most important to us — Dalton was a great and loyal friend and he will be missed by many. Our condolences to Givonna and family at this difficult time. Peter and Betty Homenuck

Heartfelt condolences and an outpouring of love being sent your way, Giovanna and family. It was a privilege and a gift to work with Dalton at York U for so many years, to learn from him and to have him as a mentor. He has made me a better communicator, teacher and human being, and for that I am eternally grateful. I will carry the sound of his voice in my heart always. Until we meet again, Charlie. Love, A2.

Dalton was an inspiring teacher and colleague, who generously shared his expertise with many York faculty through his contributions to the Centre for the Support of Teaching. He will be sadly missed. With my deepest condolences to his family and many friends.

My condolences. Professor Kehoe was a formidable teacher in the department of Communication and Media Studies, and inspired many students. His left a profound legacy for all his colleagues.

Professionally, Dalton was an expert lecturer. The students often commented his course was the best ever, and importantly they considered his courses ‘actually useful university credits’ applicable in the real world of communication in everyday life and organizations. After 23 years of being my mentor, colleague and friend his influence on my life was profound.
Beyond his esteemed academic credentials Dalton was a very down to earth kind of guy, supportive, easy to talk to, interesting and funny.
DK (Charlie) you will be deeply missed but never forgotten in our ‘conscious, sub-conscious and adapted unconscious minds’…you are unforgettable. Giovanna and family, we will cherish his memory and the happiness you provided in his life. Sincerely, Angel 1

Dear Vanna & family
We recently heard of your loss. We send you our deepest and sincere condolences to you and your family.
We are saddened to hear the news and the painful journey everyone has experienced over the past two years.
We wish you strength and peace during this sad time. May Dalton Rest in Eternal Peace.

Although I did not know Professor Kehoe personally, he was one of the instructors who trained new managers such as myself back in 2011 when we went through our manager onboarding sessions at York University. His presentations, based in part on his book “Mindful Management” were always informative, valuable for their practical tips, and always highly engaging. He was one of the most dynamic public speakers I have ever heard. My condolences to his family and friends.

My sincere condolences to the family on the passing of Dalton. I’ve known Dalton for many years at the university. He was a wonderful and learned human being. I learned a lot from you Dalton, thank you for your mentoring sessions. May you rest in peace and spend time in your happy place.
Best

My sincere condolences to Joanne on Dalton’s passing. I had the pleasure to speak to Dalton on a few occasions about educational matters centred around educational publishing. I was always struck by Dalton’s intellect, listening skills and the ability to relate to others. Thinking of you Joanne at this difficult time.

Dalton’s skill as a teacher and his concern for students were perhaps his greatest assets. His smile and quick wit will be missed.

I worked with Dalton at The Great Courses, and later when he wanted to convert one of his books into an online course. He was wonderful to work with–a brilliant man as well as a gentleman. His book on Mindful Management contained the clearest explanation about how the brain works that I’ve ever read. It was so clear, in fact, that it actually changed my life. I am profoundly grateful to him for that and for the opportunity to work with him. He will be missed.

To my mentor Professor Kehoe: I had the privilege to attend your lectures in the 90s. You inspired many in your classes and enabled your students to strive for greater thought. You taught the tools that would allow people to help impact others around them. Professor Kehoe was the best Professor I ever had! He changed my trajectory in my career and inspried many others. Rest in peace Sir knowing you made a difference. Love and support to his family.

At a loss for words. Rest in Peace, sir.

My condolences to Giovanna and all of Dalton’s family. Just learning about his passing today, I am saddened by the loss of a wonderful man and a consummate, caring, ever-encouraging teacher. Like many who were lucky enough to study under his tutelage, my life course was altered by his influence and instruction, and I very much doubt I would be where I am today but for Dalton Kehoe.

Professor Kehoe was my favourite at York University. I remember him as witty knowledgeable and inspirational.

Rest well my friend! See you on the other side.

I am so saddened to read about Prof. Kehoe’s demise. I was his student in his “Communications in Organizations” course, circa late 1990s, and I looked forward to his educational and inspiring weekly lectures. I had come back to academia after a few years as an administrator in the corporate world, and his course was an eye opener to me, full of epiphanies!

Dr. Kehoe had a wonderful personality, you couldn’t take your eyes off him when he was giving his lectures. I have great memories of his presentations, he was ahead of the times. When he was away once, his videotaped lecture was beamed on the screen in a big lecture hall.
