Obituary: John Keating

John Keating, who filled critical roles at Reuters Data Centre in London's Docklands for nearly a quarter century, died in Greece on Monday after a massive heart attack. He would have been 47 next month.

After 23 years in data centre design, build and critical facilities operations, Keating took sabbatical leave in July 2012 to the island of Paros with his wife Tina and young son Ben, with whom he is pictured. Most recently he was Thomson Reuters’ global head of mechanical, electrical and plumbing service operations.

Keating’s sister Mary said: “John was above all totally charismatic and so very witty that I know many will remember him with fondness.”

The funeral will be in Ireland. ■
