Peter Keller Obituary
Peter John Keller of Williamsville, NY and Davidson, NC, 72, passed away on August 8, 2022. He was born February 1, 1950 in Buffalo, NY to the late Arthur P. Keller Jr. and Patricia Towart Keller. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his aunt, Marie L. Keller. Peter was a graduate of Union College in Schenectady, NY and Executive Vice President of Keller Technology Corporation where he worked for over 50 years. "The Pete" as he was called by his grandchildren was a loving and supportive Grandfather. Peter lived life to the fullest and was an avid runner, sailor, cyclist, hiker, musician and dedicated Davidson College basketball fan. In the last years of his life, Peter lived his dream of being a farmer in the mountains of West Virginia where he raised Scottish Highland cattle. He is survived by his wife, Susan Fleischmann Keller; children, Barnaby M. Keller (Gianna) and Katie Dugan (Thomas); grandchildren, Jack Keller, Abigail Keller, Thomas Dugan, Keller Dugan, Finn Dugan and Cole Dugan; sister, Kathie A. Keller; brother, Michael Keller (Marilee); many loyal friends and his caregiver Comfort Norris Ngwayah as well as his buddy, Ghillie the Otter Hound. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers the family has asked that memorials be made to Hospice & Palliative Care, Charlotte Region or Invisible Paw Prints Therapy Dog Testing and Registry. Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home & Cremation Services is caring for the Keller family. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.KepnerFH.com.

On behalf of the Roth and Skinner families I send our condolences. My grandparents (Dave and Marion Skinner) and my parents (Beverly and Brian Roth) were lifelong friends of Pat, Bud and Marie. I know they would mourn Pete´s passing. It´s interesting how both families matriculated from Williamsville to Charlotte.

As a former airline employee, and Peter as a professional traveller, we called him the Good Peter. He was a wonderful gentleman. God bless Peter.

I´m going to miss him big time. Every time I look out my kitchen window I think of him, having seen him out there with his dog over the many years. His other home in Williamsville, NY where I spent 3 months in my youth training with Westinghouse was a topic of many enjoyable discussions we had.

Pete was a great friend and team-mate. He and Suzie were one of the few couples I stayed in touch with after we all split up after Williamsville H.S. and college. My sympathy to all his family.
