WILLIAM (BILL) KEELER It is with great sadness the family announces the sudden passing of Bill on October 31, 2006 at the age of 51. Bill will be sadly missed by his wife of 22 years, Shari; sons Paul (Lisa), Jamie (Jennifer) and Cory (Tash); grandchildren Elizabeth, Aidan, and Morgan; his cats Girls Misty and Baby; step-father John Korotash; mother-in-law Marjorie Kwiatkowski; brother Wayne; brothers-in-law Greg, Gerard, Rodney, Randy, David, Doug, Terry and Tim; sisters-in-law Shann, Kim, Shirley and Lana; nieces, nephews, and his numerous good friends. He was predeceased by his father Arthur, his mother Lorna, father-in-law Henry and his dog Buddy. Bill spent his life as a devoted truck driver, which is what he loved. During the last 10 years of his life he dedicated his abilities to the Ram group of companies, where he purchased his own semi, which he drove with pride and commitment. His co-workers and other truck drivers knew him by Billy Boy , which was a decal on his truck. Bill loved life, he was a compassionate man, his willingness, sincerity, devotion, honesty and tenderness touched the hearts of those who had the honor to know him. Bill's passion was for his family, they were his love, his life. He loved them unconditionally and sacrificed his life for his love of his wife and family. He was very proud of his family, he gave his heart to them. There was nothing he would not do for them, they were his world. We will miss you tremendously, love you forever. Our world will never be the same without you. When I look at the stars at night, I will see the twinkle in your eyes. Until we meet again, my love. Prayers will be held on Friday, November 3 at 7:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Funeral Service will follow on Saturday, November 4 at 10:00 a.m. also at the Chapel with Rev. Fr.
