Weston, April, Jada and Jena Johnson; his sister's family, Nesha, Michael,

sons, Alec and Austin Johnson. Tony had been married and divorced twice. He
had maintained a good relationship with his boys mother, Tammy Palmer and her
husband Mark, and his second wife, Amie Barrick. The family would also like to
express an extreme gratitude to those who helped make Tony's battle with
illness easier for him to bear. These include Drs. Elena Hewitt and Roxina
Fischer, his special friend Colleen Storey, his extended family, hospital
staff, clergy, and all his friends throughout the years. In honor of Tony's

simple to the complex, including trying to find ways to prolong his time with
his boys. Because of this, the family would like to ask in lieu of flowers,
donations be made to a college fund for his sons, so that they can follow
through on their collective dreams of discovering new possibilities. This fund
has been set up through Goldenwest C redit Union under the name of Alec and

Keller, H. Wayne (Memoriam)
IN LOVING MEMORY OF H. WAYNE KELLER March 16, 1934 - April 7, 2004 Thank you,
Dad, as I have said before. The gifts that you have given me are worth so much
more. The gift of your time is one you willingly gave. Countless hours of Slap
Jack, Checkers and Old Maid. Homework time maybe lasted too long, doing then
redoing, it went on and on. The gift of your knowledge had many uses, from
preparing taxes to replacing fuses. There was nothing you couldn't repair,
from curling irons to bike tires leaking air. Dad can fix it! We all knew,
just another great thing about you. The gift of you love was always there.
Advice and pep talks were never rare. From playing horsey on your knee to all
the back tickles you gave to me. I love you Dad and miss you dearly, in my
heart I'll hold you near me. Love Suzy
