BASIC FACTS

William Henry "Billie Jack" Keefauver was born on 11 January 1930 in Washington Co., Tennessee.^1,3,4 He and Esta Lea Baker were married on 18 September 1957.² He died on 15 August 1990, at age 60, in Huston, Harris Co., Texas.^2,5 He died on 23 August 1990, at age 60, in Houston, Harris Co., Texas.^4,6

William Henry "Billie Jack" Keefauver had reference number 13070. He was a Vice President of Rowan Corporation; pilot.² His Social Security Number was 412-46-7140, issued: Tennessee.⁵ He was enumerated on the census in Washington County, Tennessee (1930.) He resided in Huston, Harris Co., Texas (1986, 1987.)^7,8 Eulogy from the Grapevine, the Rowan Company Newspaper:

Romeo Delta's Front Line
Rowan Chief Pilot and Vice President of RDC Marine, Inc, division, Jack Keefauver, died in the Gulf Stream I accident on August 23. He was a man of unfailing generosity, unquestioned professionalism and ability, with a talent for employee motivation.
Besides his job, transporting everyone from Rowan's rookie roustabouts to top executives and high level corporate guests, Jack Keefauver was always quick to ascertain certain needs of his travelers, some of whom may have reluctantly left their families to earn their living with Rowan overseas. They could count on words of encouragement from Jack. Everyone was glad to see him onboard.
Jack Keefauver had an abiding interest in Rowan's aircraft. In addition to the maintenance and care of the aircraft, for which he had a strong background, he also cared about the little things that company passengers took for granted - photographs, artwork and decor, magazine selections and refreshments. Jack Keefauver took pride and an active part in everything he did. He prided himself in keeping up with technology and was proficient in use of personal computers in many aspects of his job in corporate aviation. As time permitted he also offered valuable assistance to personal computer users throughout Rowan Companies, including helping select and install software used to produce Rowan's company magazine, the Grapevine.
Jack and wife, Lea, besides being welcome faces at Rowan, took an interest in upbringing of a young girl, Jennifer Lemus.
In his eulogy Rowan Chairman and President C. R. Palmer detailed the qualities by which Jack Keefauver made a lasting impact on our company.
For 25 years Jack Keefauver and I dreamed the impossible dream and made it happen. As Rowan's Aviation Department progressed from one Twin Beech -- that was the ugliest airplane you ever saw, tan and black with red and white trim -- to a fleet of magnificent aircraft, our business mission had as a primary purpose: to support Rowan's worldwide operations. And the drilling crews were first priority.
The call sign "Romeo Delta" became our passport into the future and was welcomed at airports in many lands.
It would not have happened without Smiling Jack.
Jack was more than a pilot. Some have said he was a pilot's pilot. But there was so much more.
Jack was gifted with rare insight and possessed a deep concern for the well being of his co-workers. He was respected by all that knew him. Those of us, who knew him, knew him well as a teacher, and enthusiastic and tireless worker and more importantly as a true and trusted friend.
As we say farewell, I am conscious of the thought, "Therefore, never send to ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee and me." (John Donne quoted by Earnest Hemingway, For Whom The Bell Tolls.)

Esta Lea Baker had reference number 13071. Her Social Security Number was 462-22-5704, issued: Texas, last residence: Houston, Harris Co., Texas.² At Lea's funeral, she wanted the following poem read:

I'M Free
Don't grieve for me now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

". . . "Your son was in his barracks room on Thursday evening, 6 November, 1952, along with several other men who lived and worked with him, making preparations to go on their normal security duties. As he undoubtedly told you in letters in the past, he was one of the members of our security team which is responsible to insure the safety and security of all the vital United States Air Force equipment on this station, which duties entail the regular use and handling of weapons. One of your son's friends on the opposite side of the room was checking a weapon to verify that it was in proper condition and not loaded. In checking the weapon, he held it in his right hand, pointed it at the ceiling and pulled back the slide with his left hand which requires a certain amount of force. In explanation.

JAN. 17, 1985 JUNE 23, 1997. The following essay was written by Judith Kathryn (Smith) Stewart:

Clarence "Stump" MCCollum Keefauver
Stump was the next younger brother of William Henry who married my Aunt Willie. It gets confusing when cousins marry. I remember Stump at many family gatherings at Uncle Bill and Aunt Willie's house. He and Arlene were almost always there. Arlene had beautiful red hair, which she passed on to Sharon. It was a shade called Strawberry Blonde. Jerry was blond and tall.
When Jerry became an adult he moved to Iowa where his maternal Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles lived. His sister, Sharon, tells of a story about when Jerry first went to Iowa. We always called a soft drink a coke or dope and when Jerry went into a store and asked for a dope he set the people on their ear because they thought he was asking for drugs.
Sharon also told me she had a dog named Rover when she was very young. One day she was playing out in the yard and did something her Father had told her not to do. He proceeded to spank her right there. Rover took exception to this and had Clarence's shirt torn off in seconds as he protected Sharon. She laughed as she told me that her father never spanked her outdoors again where her dog could see what was happening.
