Richard Keator

I remember "Mr. Keator " as my biology teacher at Huntington High School (~ 1959). He was an inspiration to me, and I not only majored in bio but, years later, returned to teach at HHS, but possibly even in the same classroom . I knew him casually during summers as I worked at a marina where he kept his boat. Now at 80 myself, I have at times thought back about people that had an unexpected positive influence on my life and wanted to share this with his family members. Herb Stelljes...

So sorry to hear that your parents are gone. They were really exceptional people and I enjoyed the time that I knew them.

Dear Dale and family, I am so sorry for your loss and sadness. Your mom and dad were wonderful people and I know they are with God, sharing their rewards together.

Although only an acquaintance at the Key Largo Civic Club, your father touched my life, too, with his words and his smile. I just wanted to let you know you are in my thoughts. with love to the Keator family, Elena

Bruce. Sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

David, Dale, Bruce & all of your families, It has been a gift to know Dick here in Key Largo, through our parents knowing each other from the Civic Club, our fathers sharing a love of music, and his contributions to the Senior Moments group at the KL Library. His legacy for that group was the idea for our "Sharing Our Stories" programs. Most importantly, he brought the blessing of first Dale, then David, into my life. A special man, Dick will long be remembered for his community involvement...

Dear Dale, David and Bruce,
I got to know your Dad initially through Dale and her family stories, leading eventually to an extraordinary trip to New York kayaking and wandering the lake and camp. I also had the special chance to meet him, both in Florida and Virginia, where we shared stories of his and my Dad's time at Springfield College. What an amazing man who lived a full life. How special for each of you to have those memories to cherish.

Bruce and Family, so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. Although I didn't know him, I'm glad I had the chance to hear about him through our friendship. Stay strong, God Bless.
