Joseph Gerald Keller Sr.
July 16, 1933 — March 6, 2021
Joseph Gerald Keller Sr., age 87, resident of Toledo, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 6, 2021, at Parkcliffe Alzheimer's Community, in Toledo. He was born on July 16, 1933, in Toledo, Ohio, to the late Herman and Eva (Herron) Keller.
Joseph proudly served in the U.S. Navy. He had worked as a millwright for Libbey Glass in Toledo for over 30 years. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and canoeing, in which he gave his love for the outdoors to his children and grandchildren; sharing their love for nature and animals, especially dogs and snakes. He was a man of many walkabouts; Joseph had an assortment of antiques and collectables. A "do it yourselfer", he would help fix just about anything.
Those left to forever cherish his memory are his four children, Daniel (Maureen) Keller, Mitzi Leist, James (Deborah) Keller, Sr., and Joseph Keller, Jr. (Cindy); twelve grandchildren, Toni (Cory) Harris, Robert Leist, Angelo Leist, Jessica (Fred) Webber, Nickolaus (Amber) Keller, James Keller, Jr., Jon Boudrie, Joseph Boudrie, Cory (Crystal) Kurtz, Andrew Kurtz, Mikayla Palm, and JK Palm; and thirteen great grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a daughter, Linda Kurtz; and two sisters, Phyllis Hudson and Jeannette Brown.
Private family services will take place. A Celebration of Life will take place in July at Little Wolf Lake in Lewiston, Michigan. Please reach out to Mitzi for further details.
