HERBERT LOUIS KELLER (1919-2000)

I'm not sure how to summarize my Father's life.  I only have my own memories 
of the times He & I had together and the stories told by other people.  I can 
tell you some things about who he was:

To start with:
He was a son of:   Charles Jacob Keller and Delila May Shibler
He was the youngest brother of:	Reuben Henry Keller
                                Elizabeth Lucille Falor
                                Helen Sophia Fiser
                                Elvin Samuel Keller
                                Franklin Arthur Keller

He was a grandson of:  		Henry Keller & Sophia Boehm and 
				Samuel Shibler & Elizabeth Leininger

He was a great grandson of: 	Joseph Keller & Barbara Breiter
                                and Andreas Boehm & Verna Hobitzer
                                and Jacob Shibler & Delila Harnet
                                and Frederick Leininger & Anna Linhart

He was a husband of:            Frances Jeanette Mizer

He was a father of four:    	Charles Paul Keller
                                Rebecca Anne Escobedo
                                Robert Louis Keller
                                Elizabeth Susanne Gleckler

He was a grandfather of ten:    Mary Elizabeth Hoffman
                                Amy Christine Hoffman
                                Rachel Ann Keller
                                Leah Beth Keller
                                David Paul Keller
                                Michael James
                                Richard Keith Bachelder
                                Tina Sue Bachelder
                                Dev Paul Kapoor
                                Jennifer Lee Gleckler

He was a great-grandfather of four:     Cora Elizabeth
                                        Katie Suzanne
                                        Monica Nicole Jordan
                                        Jessica Danielle Jordan

But beyond ancestors and descendants,
    He was a good person, a good husband and a good father.  He was a hero in 
the periodic crises of life.  Always willing to rescue a child or friend with 
his hands or funds.  He was a good Christian; setting an example by his 
faith, service and study.  He served his country in the Navy during World War 
II.

    He was a quiet man with a subtle humor and wit.  A patient man who could 
read his newspaper while a happy baby balanced on his crossed leg.  He 
appreciated nature and cultivated a beautiful garden & lawn.

    He could prepare for and teach a class of study, diagnose and cure a 
reluctant motor or counsel a person in trouble.  Once at an auto accident he 
was the first person to calm and reassure the injured until the ambulance 
arrived.

    He was a provider, a teacher, a defender of his family and community.  He 
received the only reward that has any meaning...  He was loved.
