Henry Chapman Keck

Uncle Henry almost made it to 100! I am so grateful to my cousin Karen Keck Greenwalt and her husband Jerry for their care for Uncle Henry toward the end. The rest of us nieces and nephews lived quite a distance away. Sadly, later that same year my cousin Tom Keck and then Tom's son Daniel passed away. My brother Steven Keck joined them in October 2023. I can imagine the reunion in Heaven!

I met with Henry Keck around 2012. I had an invention and he agreed to meet with me for free to give me advice. He was really kind and encouraging. What a great man. Somehow his name just came up and I found this website saying he had passed away. I feel honored to have met him.

I was always a bit in awe of my Dad's brother, Uncle Henry! Did not know him well because of distance, but he was a very intelligent, well-spoken man, and very creative! I have a copy of his book, "How Design Changed America." -Nancy (Keck) Molina, Corning, CA

Henry was a good friend to my family for many years. I admired Henry not only for his creative, professional work as an engineer, but also for his desire to share what would be most beneficial to the welfare of others. I am very grateful for all the fond memories of times spent with this wonderful man.

I came to California with my 4 year old son after my 1st wife had passed away in order to start life over again. Henry gave me my first job as an industrial designer and helped me through some tough times. I worked with Henry and Bernie Craig for 2 years and that experience launched my career in the field of design. Henry was always very professional and also a sweet soul who will always be a part of my life. R.I.P. Henry

I didnt get to know Henry until the last 3 months of his life, and I found him to be a delightful person. He wanted to be right with God before he died. Amen!

Henry was a gentleman.

He was a wonderful client and expert for my law partner Richard Wallen for many years.

Thank you for your wonderful design work.
