JACK KELLER
Jack was a Certified Public Accountant in Kansas City and Seattle, Wash. After retiring from that profession he went into the photography business in Seattle, Wash. He became a master photographer, and while finishing photographing a wedding in 1989 was seized with a massive heart attack, and died almost instantly. He was my eldest brother of four brothers.
While in the photography business he did beautiful canvas portraits which looked like paintings; one of our mother was given to me after Jack died, and I treasure it highly.
Jack traveled some, and made a number of travel documentaries. One was done in the Holy Land and another in Katmandu. He traveled twice to Nepal. He had a great interest in doing this type of thing, and produced masterful travelogs complete with narration.
While trekking over the mountains in Nepal, Jack hired Sherpa guides to carry the provisions and things needed. The guides always offered to carry his camera equipment which he never allowed, but did himself. They referred to him with a term which he later learned meant "old man". I was priveleged to see one of the documentaries. It was certainly an education on the people and terrain. Jack is probably busy now making documentaries of Heaven. He was an intense person; giving his all to everything he did.
Jack also worked for several years whenever he was in Iowa taking pictures of the covered bridges in Madison County. He wanted the many pictures of the bridges in each of the four seasons of the year. When finished to his sastisfaction he planned to have a pictorial book printed. This he never got to finish. There were initially seven of the bridges, but one was burned by vandalism; there are six left today.
