Robert “Bob” G. Keller
July 7, 1943-September 25, 2025
With profound love and gratitude for his life, we announce the passing of Robert “Bob” G. Keller, who entered into eternal rest on September 25, 2025, at the age of 82.
Born in 1943, Bob lived a life marked by kindness, grace, compassion, and unwavering love for his family, friends, and God. A devoted Catholic, Bob lived his life through Jesus Christ, allowing his faith to guide every step and to shape the way he treated others with unconditional respect, grace, kindness, and love.
He graduated from Roslindale High School in 1962 and continued his education at Northeastern University.
Bob went on to serve as the Director of Sales for Mount Auburn Cemetery, dedicating 43 years to supporting families with compassion and comfort during their most difficult times.
Following his retirement, Bob found great joy in driving a school bus for the Franklin community. This role brought him daily purpose, and he especially loved sharing wisdom and kindness with the children he served.
Above all, Bob was devoted to his family. He shared 41 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Donna. He was a loving and proud father of Thomas, Shannon, Kristopher (with his wife, Michelle), and of Timothy, who now welcomes him into eternal rest. His greatest blessing and crowning joy were his grandchildren, Cole, Owen, Mila, and Zoey, who filled his later years with joy, comfort, and blessings.
Bob cherished the outdoors and loved sharing those moments with his family. Whether, camping, hiking, skiing, kayaking, or biking, he found beauty and peace with sharing those moments with who he loved most.
His legacy of faith, compassion, and love rooted in Christ will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know him.
Family and friends are warmly invited to celebrate Bob’s life at his wake on Thursday evening Oct. 2nd, from 4-7 p.m. at the Charles F. Oteri and Son Franklin Funeral Home 33 Cottage St. in Franklin, and at a Funeral Mass on Friday morning Oct. 3rd, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Thomas Church in Millis.
