Kent was one of my best friends when we were in high school in Springfield Mo. I mourn his death. Stephen Schwab

Keller Family- my thoughts and prayers. You´re right, he was Keller! Keller and I enjoyed a 30 plus year relationship originating with that lovely game of golf. We shared a lot of laughs and will miss him greatly! I am comforted that a collection of his good friends such as Dick Hoffman and TY have welcomed with open arms. RIP Keller!
