Bushnell Keeler

"A masterpiece withstands time. Its importance grows on those who feel attracted by its unending life. It creates enthusiasm which spreads from soul to soul..." — Hilla Rebay

This quote reminds me so much of Bush, a masterpiece in his own right. Whenever I hear his name, I have memories of him playing the piano with the same feeling that comes through his painting. Music and painting..., they are one..., they are art. Judy, my thoughts and feelings are with you.
And the...

Bush, I remember and still hear your stories and wish I could hear more. Judy, my thoughts are with you - take heart.

We only met Bushnell and Judy briefly when we bought their trailer in Boones. I have lived here for almost 18 years and enjoyed their home here and still do. My childrens dad also graduated from Dartmouth and I myself was an artist and loved to paint and work with pen and ink. I am pleased to see that you have had a loving and happy life. I send my sincerest condolences for your loss. Sincerely, Beryl Pierce and son, Kevin Pierce.

Bush, you are truly missed and will always be in our thoughts. Your beautiful smile and twinkling eyes are some of the things I remember most, and your easy going carisma. We miss and love you, Bob and Mary Ann Hunt

Bushnell Keeler was my father. I called him "Pop" because he was really my stepfather, and in the beginning he asked for that name, which sixty-years later would continue when my own son (Bush's great-grandson) started calling me Pop. It's a fine name from an earlier time.

Pop taught me an important life lesson, that doing what you love to do in your work, is an essential part of living a happy and fulfilled life.

My life knowing Bushnell Keeler began at Dartmouth College,...

Not only did he love fly fishing, he was exceptionally good at it (as he was with his paintings)!

For Christmas 2009, my sister gave me a very pretty unframed print. Little did she or I know, she had given me a much more precious gift. My husband, Bob, and I took the print to our local frame shop, where we were greeted by this lovely elderly gentleman with a twinkle in his eye. We've all met lots of very nice people over the years who've helped we customers with one purchase or another, but Bush was special. Not only did he transform my print into a treasure with his expert framing...

The world lost a great man. Past fellow co-worker as well. Fondest of memories of Bush and all his stories.
