Roger Keller Obituary
Roger J. Keller, of Neenah, age 76, passed away at his home surrounded by his loving family on Saturday, June 20, 2015. He was born November 12, 1938 in Menomonie, WI, son of the late George and Alice (Duffy) Keller.
Roger married Donna Adzima on December 26, 1959. Roger accepted his first teaching position in Marshfield, WI. He later moved his family to Neenah where he taught for the remaining 27 years of his career in the Neenah Joint School District. Upon his retirement, he augmented his enjoyment of hunting at his land in Waushara County and fishing with the addition of gardening. Roger was always very intense and involved with all of his interests…but nothing could compare to his interest, involvement and love for his family. We always knew each were number one with Roger. His specialty was being the best possible Dad, Grandpa and husband. We will miss him forever but know that he will always be nearby guiding and watching over us. Maybe he will be in that ray of sunshine or part of a drop of rain. He will be there for us.
Survivors include his wife, Donna; three children: Kimberly (Scott) Keller-Chicoine, Darboy, Debra (David) Anderson, Whitewater, Rick (Mary) Beardsley-Keller, Greenville; eight grandchildren: Leigh, Connor and Carter Keller-Chicoine, Ian, Erik, Kristin and Ryan Anderson, and Zachary Beardsley; a sister, Ann (Tom) Hake, Eau Claire; and nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Roger was preceded in death by a brother, John and sister-in-law, Joan

Our Grandpa was an amazing man. The amount of care and love he gave to each and every one of his grandchildren was unimaginable. He was a big part of our childhood and we are so lucky he was there for all of us. Whether he was playing with the toothed alligator, showing us all the apple trees he had around the yard, making Rudolf's nose appear in the backyard on Christmas Eve, or just being in his company; it was never a dull moment when hanging out with Grandpa. He will be greatly missed and will always be remembered in our many amazing memories we have of him. He will be with us in our hearts forever.
Love,
Ian, Erik, Kristin, and Ryan

Roger was one of my Dad's favorites. My brother has fond memories of visiting Roger and Donna with Dad while hunting. They treated us like kings he said.
