He was a compassionate and caring who will be missed. Thanks for the care you gave to your neighbor/our mother.

Bright eyes and a warm smile is what we will always remember about Dick.
Our dog, Chip, loved him for all the dog bones he kept in his golf cart and always shared with him. 
 
Dick always ended a conversation with "SEE YA KIDS"...

A FEW GOOD MEN. Mr. Dick Keller certainly fits  into this category. Since moving to Land O Lakes my wife and I quickly learned the type of person he was. Dick was a man that displayed high character and solid principles. He was always putting others needs before his own. Even when he was suffering from his illness, he continuously put other peoples needs first. We will miss our loving friend and close neighbor. Our condolences to Connie and the entire Keller Family. God Bless and rest in peace from Don and Sue Brummer.

We, Mina and Joe, had the good fortune of meeting Dick shortly after we moved across the street more than eight years ago. We cannot count the number of times we needed help and called on Dick. He was always there for us and we think that was the case for all the neighbors. We will miss a truly kind and gentle neighbor and friend.

Even though it has been many years since we have seen Dick, we will truly miss him and his exceptional talent for taking pictures.  We will always remember the times he and Connie visited us in Loxahatchee.  All of these wonderful memories will keep you in our hearts forever.  God Bless from Pat, Gail, John, Tom, Stacey, Austin, Zachory and Nicolas Biddix

I never wanted to live in Tampa until I came to know my neighbors Dick and Connie Keller, such a wonderful gift. My life and our neighborhood will not be the same - we all lost a best friend. Dick was a giving, gentle soul to all who came to know him.  My condolences to Connie and family.

We always did look forward to seeing you and Dick come to visit us, we are truly going to miss him. We loved him as much as you. Wish we could be closer and see each other more often.
 
We Love You Patsy and Raymond

As a child growing up next-door to Cousin Dick in Miami, my memories of him are of a soft-hearted and gentle person.  His love for his Mother and siblings was evident. I remember my Mom and Dad (John and Rusty) always speaking so highly of Dick.  My love and condolences go out to the whole Keller family.  You have a lot of family and loved ones waiting for you in heaven Cousin Dick.  Enjoy the reception, you deserve it!

We both loved Dick as family and will miss him.  We treasure our NC memories of picking apples at the orchard and climbing the mountain to get home. We will think of him every time we ride through Spruce Pine. Dick always had a smile and a heart of gold.

We will miss you a lot Dick. We were so sad to hear of your passing. We will miss your laugh and gentle way. We will 
always think of you as one of our best neighbors. May you rest in Peace. Our prayers and thoughts go out to your family.

Happy memories of Dick's visit to Mama's house flood my mind. He was always laughing and joking with us. Dick was a favorite cousin of ours. We look forward to seeing him again in heaven.

I have been truly blessed to have my brother in my life..He was a gentle person and he would stop what he was doing and help someone out with a problem..He was my big brother, but he was a lot more to me...When I lost my husband he was a great comfort to me. I will miss him terribly..I love you Dick and thank you for all you have done for me... Peggy

We have been blessed to know and love Dick for about eight years and we found that he was the most loving, generous and kind man we have ever known. His sense of right and wrong and his compassion for others were an inspiration. We will miss him and we want his family and friends to know that we share their loss

Cousin Dick's gentle voice and kind manner made him an important person in my life.  Being around him was always a pleasure.  I loved the fact that he loved photography.  He was truly a special man.  Heart felt blessings for Dick and sincere prayers for his family...Aloha,
