"He decided to join so he could start a National Guard basketball team in the armory," said Mr. KELLER's younger brother, Gerard KELLER of Orange City, FL. "Sports was our main life then." But Mr. KELLER and his National Guard unit were called to duty in the Pacific in 1940 and he remained in the Army until 1960, promoted from National Guard private to the rank of Army lieutenant colonel. Mr. KELLER survived 3 1/2 years of fighting in the Pacific during World War II and a sting at a military adviser in Korea during the Korean War. He died December 17 [1983] at age 65 after open heart surgery at a hospital in Colorado Springs, CO. Sports were always an important part of Mr. KELLER's life, his brother said. The brothers were co-captains of the varsity basketball team at East High School. Mr. KELLER graduated from East High in 1938. "He was a big fellow, 6-foot-4, and I was 6-foot-1," KELLER said. "He'd play center and I'd play forward." Both men belonged to the same National Guard unit and were called together to active duty in World War II. Mr. KELLER came to Rochester from Corning when he was 8 years old and grew up in homes on the city's west side and on Union Street near University Avenue. In 1940, he married his high school girlfriend, Ethel DONLON, and after the end of World War II the couple lived at Army posts in California and Washington. Mr. KELLER received several military decorations for his service in World War II and Korea, including the Bronze Star. He fought in World War II campaigns in Guadalcanal and the Philippine Islands. Mr. KELLER left the Army after 20 years for a job as head of security at a large office building in Los Angeles owned by the Atlantic Richfield Co. (ARCO), his widow said.
