Richard Michael Keltner

I enjoyed being with you and around you in our short time with the Royal Constbles.I think of you a lot and miss our times together and always respected your views and comments. You are missed. Soft and Safe to thee Mike- R.I.P. Condolences to your family. William R. Bowers, Chairman, Royal Constable Committee.

Did not hear of Mike's passing until today. He was a neighbor and friend. Our boys played ball together and were friends in their younger days. I wish Ryan and all of Mike's family peace and joy in the memories they'll always have of him.

Mike, we live each day not knowing we have created another page in our lives history. Your pages, and now a book reflect a well lived life with deep feelings and respect by those you have touched on your journey.

I am one of only a few that thread through your live from childhood, high school, best man, Marine Corps, Vietnam, all the years following Vietnam until my call to you just a few days before you joined Al (Skip) and Bob.

You were our mothers other son as she would say and you called her mom.

We shared a single bed. You working nights me days.

We shared the night before your wedding, if not for mom getting us up and dressed we would have missed Bert at the church.

Yes we went in the Corps together, yes we heard about Bob before we shipped over to Nam. It was hard to do however we did visit a few times while there.

You, I and Al spent many good times together after Nam and stayed in touch until the last days.

"A Veteran is not gone until his name is Spoken for the last time".

Your legacy will carry you forward for many generations. SEMPER-FI my brother.

We will remember Mike Keltner always as a quiet gentleman. We felt it to be an honor to have his dedicated service as one of our outstanding Royal Constables and after reading his obituary and of his gallant service while serving with our beloved United States Marine Corp, I am doubly honored. RIP Mike and sincere condolences to the family. Dick Perry, fellow Constable and Brother. Sebago, Maine 03/10/2017

To Renee and the Keltner family, please accept our condolences in the loss of your father. May the fond memories of his life during this time bring you comfort. We shall continue to uphold you and your loved ones in our prayers.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Sorry I can't be there in person but am in Florida helping daughter out.

You have gotten that promotion and are now serving in Gods Corps. I know you are standing proud and wearing your Bronze Star with "V" for VALOR and your Combat Action Ribbon.

We were 4, then Bob did not return from his tour in 1966 - then 3 till 2013 when Al left us due to his tour in 1967 - now one since you have left us because of your tour in 1967. You, I and Al did share a few good moments with each other in Nam.

Give mom a hug, I know you Bob and Al will have a great reunion.

SEMPER-FI my brother, keep a slot open in that formation for me.

Sorry for your loss Ryan, may the God Lord carry through this season of your like.
Terri and Don

RIP MARINE SEMPER FI. ME BEING A 1967 NAM MARINE I KNOW HE REPRESENTED THE CORPS VERY WELL. SO MOTE IT BE.

Mike was one tough Marine and never ran from anything! He went out on his own terms and it was where he wanted to be surrounded by his family. He is now at rest, in a better place and in no more pain.
