Jane and family,
Word has just gotten to us out here in Denver, Colorado, that Pat has gone to be with The Lord. We are shocked and saddened by this news and we send our deepest sympathy. We had a lot of good times together when we all lived in Houston and later. We know this is a big loss for the Keller family, but his twin, Mick, must be very happy to have his sidekick back with him!
We send our love and God's blessings,
Mary Kay and Peter Korth

To the Keller Family,
I am so sorry for your lost. I remember talking to your Father many times at Rockhurst stuff with my Father. I know he will be missed by all and is playing a great round of golf now!
At times like this I like to remember an Irish Blessing "My God hold him in the palm of his hand until you meet again...."

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Keller Family. Pat was certainly a wonderful man! Jane you were lucky to have had him for 47+ years but, he was still young enough to have lived a few more years. Jennifer, Patrick, Marion and Mike - I can say that I do know how you feel and what you are going through to have lost your father, as I did mine, in 1975. And your children, as well as mine, have felt and are feeling the pain of losing a grandparent. It is never "easy", to say the least! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
All our love,
The Gandy Family - Marilyn, Greg, Heather, Brandon and Elizabeth (Colorado Springs, CO)
