Not sure what to say?

Both Cathy and I were very fortunate to spend the better part of a week with you and Aunt Rose while attending several of the Illuminating Engineering Society Annual Conferences in Atlanta, St Louis, San Fran, and Toronto. I was always excited to attend those conferences because I was related to, probably the most well known member of the IES, Bill Keller. Uncle Bill, you will truly be missed. May God bless you and your Family.

My favorite story about Wild Bill is when he and mom went to China in the summer of 1985. Later that year Dad had us all over to see the pictures he took while on vacation. We waited anxiously as he readied the slide show. As the pictures came up we realized ALL the pictures were of lighting fixtures, lamps, street lights and even the factory where they made light bulbs in China. Not a single picture of the Great Wall or anything resembling a tourist shot!

Dear family of Uncle Bill, Jean and I and our kids recall all the wonderful hospitality that Uncle Bill and Aunt Rose always extended. Thank you for making the West come alive. Cousin Jim
