My Godfather, Albert Keck, worked at Bolin-Brian Funeral Home as an ambulance driver.
His father, C. Albert Keck, owned and operated the Keck Funeral Home on Putnam Ave.
It was bought out by Mader-People's Funeral Home around 1952.
I'll always remember you and your father, Russ.
Ken and you were always a comfort to our family!

Dear Trudy, Mrs. Bolin, Kelsey and family,
Russell was a very kind and gentle soul. I never saw him without a smile on his face. He had a comforting presence when I visited loved ones who passed at Bolin Funeral Home. I know he will be so missed by you and by the entire community. You have my deepest sympathy.
Love you, Trudy.

Dear Marie, Trudy, Pam and Kelsey,
I cannot possibly express how terrible I feel about the loss of Russ. He, without question, was one of the finest, generous people I have ever known. I will always remember him and how wonderful he treated me and my family. I will not attend the viewing as I do not handle going to the funeral home very well at all.

LOVE
