Harold Roy Keltner Jr.

Harold Roy KELTNER, Jr. February 3rd, 1957 ~ January 5th, 2009 Born in Elgin, Illinois, and raised in Santa Ana, California, Harold, nicknamed "Rick" was the only child born to Harold Sr. and Irene Dubois. Brought up by his loving mother, Irene, Rick graduated from high school a full two years early, and joined the Navy at the age of 17. Honorably discharged due to a car accident, Rick then attended college at ASU and received a degree in Business. He spent his 20's climbing through the ranks to become a successful credit manager, but his real achievement came when he met his wife of 21 years, Theresa Castro in 1985. The two were wed on a bluff in San Francisco in 1987, and had a son that year, Harold III, and another would follow in 1990, Duke Emerson. Rick was an avid race fan, attending the Indianapolis 500 a myriad of times and following NASCAR religiously. He loved classic rock music, adored Jimmy Buffet and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and was a tremendously gifted cook. Above all, Rick took pride in his wonderful family and boasted of his talented sons to his friends and relatives on a daily basis. He will be missed by the innumerable people whose lives he has touched over the years. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Jan. 24, at the Greenwood Memorial Park, 350 Monroe Ave. NE, Renton.
