Dear Fran and Family, I was so sorry to hear of Dr Keller's death. He was such a gentle man and doctor. I had the pleasure of working with him and Dr. Huibregtse back in the 60s. (In the good old days!!) I went with Dr Keller on Saturday mornings to help him out at his Cleveland office. So many happy memories of good/ fun times at the Sheboygan Clinic. I always enjoyed his train stories. May he rest in peace and may God be with all of you now and in the days and years ahead, My prayers and thoughts are with you. With deepest sympathies.

Such a wonderful and gentle man was Dr. Bob. My connection with him was being a Thursday volunteer at The Gathering Place for nearly the entire time TGP was blessed to have Bob as a participant and friend. Being a retired nurse, we always had medicine to talk about but he had so many other interests we enjoyed discussing as well. He added such grace with his quiet demeanor and willingness to help and enjoy the activities offered. My sincere sympathy goes out to Fran and the entire Keller family.

I enjoyed knowing Bob. He was truly a gentle man, and a class act! I will always remember when he told me...the best exercise you can do, is to push away from the table.....before you are full! My sympathy to the entire family.
