He also wrote or edited several books on ancient Greek scholarship. :"He was above all a devoted and popular teacher, and at the same time a very serious scholar," said Robert Kaster, chairman of the classics department. Prof. Keaney played a central role in devising a classics curriculum that allowed Princeton undergraduate students "to move quickly through introductory Greek and Latin to the level at which reading an ancient author becomes a pleasure rather than a chore," said Josiah Ober, a classics professor and former department chair. "His genuine pleasure in teaching the Greek and Latin languages and his dedication to maintaining high standards of undergraduate education in classics have been profoundly appreciated by four decades of Princetonians." Prof. Keaney was promoted to assistant professor in 1963, associate professor in 1970 and professor in 1975. He was the department representative for classics for many years, served as director of graduate studies, and played an important role in the development of the departmental library.

He served on several University committees, including those involving the library, Italian studies and humanistic studies, and was a member of the Prospect Association Managing Board. After retiring from Princeton, he continued his research on Byzantine manuscripts, a longtime pursuit that involved many trips to the Vatican Library in Rome. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Toni; a daughter, Anne, of Princeton; two sons, John Jr. of Nashville, Tenn., and Paul of Westborough, Mass.; and two grandchildren.
