The following insertion typifies my father - he always worked hard, criticized little, and helped anyone in need without question. I am certain he had no enemies - only those who held him in high regard.
Through the years I am mindful of many sacrifices he made for his family. But, this one incident in particular typified Dad's compassion and selflessness. My brother, Raymond, a year younger than I incurred a serious eye injury. While carpentering, a nail being driven into a board splintered and a piece entered his eyeball. There followed weeks in the hospital at Iowa City and the loss of sight in the eye. The only hope was for a transplant. Many times one waits long weeks and months for a donor. And, for my brother it was no exception. In his case it required two cornea transplants before sight again was returned to the eye.
It was at this period of time that Dad went to the head nurse in charge at Iowa City and offered one of his eyes for his son. This must have greatly stunned the nurse, and she responded gently, "Mr. Keller we're here to save sight, not to take it." Dad died in 1971. Before his death he had signed a donor card to donate his eyes for someone needing a transplant. Someone else is seeing today because our Dad cared.
