Henry "Jack" C. Keller Jr., 81, of Aurora, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on Thursday, May 19, 2016.
He was born August 29, 1934, son of Henry and Marie (DuMont) Phillips Keller Sr. As a lifelong resident of Aurora, Jack was a dedicated and loving father of his wife and children, while also being employed at Teledyne Pines for 27 years. He served as a Corporal in the Marines during his time in Korea and received honorable discharge. In Jack's spare time he created a small family company called "Keller Enterprises" in which he successfully created several inventions, such as his highly successful Sock Helper Plus. He was a member of St. Peter's Catholic Church, an avid pool player and a member of VFW.
Jack will be dearly missed by his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family, and friends. Not only will Jack be remembered as an honorable and Christian man that would give his last to help someone in need, but will also be remembered for his dedication, and determination in everything he did in life.
