To my beloved Grandfather-Gus D. Keller,
A man who I would say was of many many positive words. I would describe him as a wonderful, caring, comical, giving, good-looking and loving man to his family and others. He has done so much beyond anyone that we as a family have been through. He lived through the depression and other incidents from his childhood and on. He created a family in which we all adored him very greatly.
25 and some years of my life I have been so close with this man that I will always have a remembrance of him and the times he had together. I will cherish the times and memories that him and I spent together.
I now hope that he is in a better place without any pain.
My heart will always keep a big part of him and I hope that one day I can see him somewhere once again.
Love,
Your Grandson-Michael Hanson
