Harry Keller Obituary

July 22, 1910 - September 30, 2010 This man was our dad for more than 73 years. We knew this man as a family oriented, loving and desiring to love, eager to be together father who, though often away, always came home to love us. He worked at many things. Among them were: a concert pianist, a school music teacher, a hospital administrator, a professional fund-raiser, and a business consultant. To each venue he brought excellence, leading those with whom he worked to their greatest level. He was enjoyed by all. Even in his waning years he was sad because he could not do more for more people. Dad married mother, Marjorie Noble, in 1932 and they had three children: Jane, David and Mark; and five grandchildren and 11 greats. In 1992 dad married Sally Scholp and gained even more family to love with the Charles and Jadine Stenger family. What a Joy! Three more grand and four great grandchildren. A life span of 100 years is too great to explain in a nut-shell, but he lived them well, was well loved, and well...now he is gone. He will be missed. He was a Methodist for 75 years and the memorial service will be held at First United Methodist Church, 1551 Montgomery Ave. at 2:30 p.m. on October 29th. Join us, if you will, for a moment to remember Harry. Please consider a donation to the Church Music Fund in lieu of flowers.
