Keough is the recipient of numerous honors, including the Horatio Alger Award and the Notre Dame Laetare Medal. In June, 2007, he was granted Irish citizenship, something he celebrated by taking his wife Mickie, his children and grandchildren on a trip to Ireland.

His first book, “The Ten Commandments for Business Failure,” was released last year. He uses his 60 years of business experience to highlight the challenges and obstacles faced in business.

Keough has received honorary doctorates from the University of Notre Dame, as well as from Trinity College, Dublin, and University College Dublin, amongst others.

Though I cannot say I know him well,Donald Keough is my uncle and on each and every time i have been in his presence he has impressed me as an honest,humble,moral,and fair man.I am sure we see some things at least from opposite sides,I am opposed to large international mega corporations,I have always thanked god that he chose a man like my uncle to be in a position of power in at least one of these monolithic organizations.I am sure he made his decisions with a heart felt sense of right and wrong.
