Thomas Richard Keller was born on September 20th 1952 and his Soul left this Earth peacefully on October 15th 2025 at the age of 73. Tommy was born at Saint Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport and was a long time resident of Fairfield, CT. He attended McKinley School and Andrew Ward High School. He was a known Carpenter and Electrician. Tommy was a great person, full of life. He loved to hunt, fish, build bird houses, collect antiques, and

listening to his favorite music. He also loved camping, nature and taking rides with "his girls". Little adventures as he would call them. He was thoughtful, kind, big hearted and his family meant everything to him.

Tommy is survived by two daughters, Cory Lynn DeFilippo and Noel Arlene Murphy (Justin) along with his six Grandchildren Julie DeFilippo, Catherine DeFilippo, Isabella DeFilippo, Riley Murphy, Eire Murphy and Aaron Murphy. He also leaves behind his beloved Mother, Mary Keller and six brothers Frank Keller, Donald Keller (Robin), Richard Keller, Scott Keller, Eric Keller and Roger Keller (Laura) along with a niece and many nephews. He was

predeceased by his Father Frank Keller Jr. and his Brother Robert Keller. Tommy also had his cat, Bobby, who he adored and has stayed to be cared for in our family. He also had many friends that he held near and dear to his heart. Tommy wished to have a closed service with family. He will be missed dearly. The memories and his Legacy will always remain in our hearts. "Behind Blue Eyes".
