1st..... i would like to thank all that have prayed for my dad and my family in the past. we all do appreciated it.

2nd..... on the 23rd of march 2011, my father--Ronold B Keeler-- passed away at 10:55pm
he lived a good life and was ready to go. he had been a great father, brother, husband and a friend one could depend upon. he enjoyed hunting and fishing with his brothers and love taking us kids out too.
he was in active boy scout for more then 60yrs. was given the highs honor in scouting-- the silver beaver-- was a scout master for many yrs. even after all us boys were out of scouts ourselves. he had been both district and regional commissioner and many a man came to the visitation and funeral that said he touch and made a difference in their lives as a boy growing up.
i saw a part of my dad die when each of his older brothers past before him. because of what they had to go through growing up-- a torn family, drunken father, the depression, ww2 -- and all the brothers made it back home and then lossing 1 brother within 24hrs of getting back home after the war.
these brothers' made a vow that they would all stick together, help each other any way the could and they did. now there is only 3 left out of the 9 boys and all have been instrumental in many a childs life. whether it be thru scouts, taking kids hunting or fishing or thru the churchs that they belong to.

i miss them all dearly. but i'm going to miss my father the most.

Sorry about losing you father. I lost mine in September. The last year he was too weak to go fishing with me and I felt a bit quilty going to the places we always fished together. Now we go together all the time.

Real sorry for the passing of your Father, Prayers go out to You and your Family.

Sorry to hear of your loss Bill, but I'm glad to hear you had a great father. Hopefully time quickly eases your pain.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, Mr Bill. sounds like you also lost a great friend and teacher.

thanks everyone.......i'm doing a bit better........went out steelhead fishing this morning and i caught 1....it felt real good just fighting it

Sorry for your loss mr bill, I lost my dad in 1995 and still miss him today.

Mr Bill. I understand your loss. I lost my father to lung cancer a couple of years ago and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him and thank him for everything he has given me including the love of this sport we all hold so dear.
