Paul Keba Obituary

Keba, Paul S. CLIFTON PARK Paul S. Keba, 72 of Clifton Park, beloved husband of 43 years to Geraldine E. "Geri" Sidoti Keba of Clifton Park, devoted father of James "Jim" (Asha) Keba of Pacifica, Calif., and deeply adored grandfather of Jordan and Kyla, peacefully entered into eternal life on Thursday, February 24, 2022. Born in Johnstown, N.Y., he was the son of the late Stephen and Margaret Hanchar Keba. Paul was a graduate of Johnstown High School and earned his bachelor and master of Science degrees in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Paul was retired from Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in Niskayuna where he had been employed for over 48 years as a chemical engineer, a career he found both satisfying and rewarding. Often out in the community, Paul enjoyed socializing at St. Edward the Confessor Church in Clifton Park, as a communicant and part of the Coffee Club, playing chess, volunteering at youth hockey and little league baseball, and was a friendly face wherever he went. His most cherished moments involved spending time with his wife Geri, doting on his grandchildren, working in the garden, and his regular trips to Disney with family. Paul is survived by his younger brother, James "Jim" (Christine) Keba, and a niece and nephew. Funeral service will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 2, at 1:30 p.m. at the Gordon C. Emerick Funeral Home, 1550 Route 9, Clifton Park, NY 12065, followed by interment in St. Agnes Cemetery in Menands. Relatives and friends are invited to a calling hour on Wednesday, March 2, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, those desiring may make memorial contributions to the charity of their choice in memory of Paul S. Keba. Please feel free to express your online condolences by visiting gordoncemerickfuneralhome.com
