Roy Walter Keller of Belgium, reunited with his family on Sunday, April 2, 2017. He was 90 years old. Roy was born on October 8, 1926 to Walter and Margaret (nee Tvehscherer) in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota. Roy and his wife Elizabeth (nee Wolf) Keller were united in marriage on October 10, 1949 in Knox, North Dakota at St. Mary Catholic Church.
Roy was a proud Navy Veteran who served in WWII. Roy and Betty moved to Wisconsin in 1950 where they raised their family. He participated in the VFW post 5373 and enjoyed marching in the local parades. Roy first worked as a welder at Gilson Bros. in Fredonia and later at Simplicity in Port Washington until he retired in 1991. He kept busy working as the Belgium Village Marshall and helping others with grass cutting, snow removal and various other jobs after retirement. He enjoyed having his grandchildren help in any way they could. Roy had a huge heart and often spent time visiting friends when they weren’t doing well.
