Charles Aikin Keck

If ever I met a generous man, it was surely Dr. Keck!
Fly in Joy, Kind Sir!

Hello Carolyn, Greg Griffith (you may remember me from when you chaired the Bigelow House Preservation Assoc. board) sending you sincere condolences over Charles' passage. I remember you speaking of him often and knew you were very close and dynamic partners.
I didn't realize when I was with you on the BHPA board your connections to Dayton and Oakwood...until I read Charles' obituary. My family lived there from 1954-58 and both my brothers attended Oakwood HS and my oldest brother Don...

Never a dull moment around Charlie. He made coming to work a delight. What a wonderful man.

I deeply admired and respected Dr. Keck. So much so that it took me forever to feel comfortable calling him Charlie. He was one of the first to welcome me to the Olympia community, one of the founding members of the Thurston County Medical Reserve Corps. Later in retirement, an avid and accomplished photographer. Thank you for all these wonderful memories. Rest well my friend.

Charles was a very special person. Will be missed. Prayers and thoughts to the family.

He was a Renaissance Man, an inspiration to others, a caring talented physician and a wonderful mentor. A smooth stone whose ripples in the pond will just keep going and going. A privilege and honor to know you and your wonderful family. Thank you, Charlie. We love you, Greg and Beth Anderson

What a lovely memorial. Charlie Keck was two of my three kids' first pediatrician - so gentle, kind, and compassionate. I hadn't realized he'd served people of color and low income families prior to being our Dr. Keck. I feel so fortunate to have known such a great, generous man.

I am very sorry for your loss! He was my pediatrician and my sons as well. He always amazed me how he would look over my son and study him to make sure he was a healthy baby! He was an amazing man.
