Edward D. Keller ’36

Ted died Aug. 3, 2006.

Ted started with the Class of ’35 and graduated with us. He prepared at Lawrenceville and at Princeton majored in history and belonged to Tiger Inn. He played freshman basketball and baseball and was on the varsity basketball squad for three years.

Ted worked for the Dosch-King Co., a road contractor in Whippany, N.J., until he retired at age 89 after several years as company president. The company has a terminal in New Haven, a bituminous concrete plant in Bergen County, N.J., and a road-emulsion plant in Whippany. It plays a big part in the building and maintaining of highways in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

Ted was active in community projects and, as he wrote us several years ago, “I even became president of the local country club.”

Ted is survived by his wife, the former Evelyn Menk; two daughters, Joan Leggett and Christine; a stepdaughter, Elizabeth McCann; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; four step-great-grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren.

We are proud to have had this ’35 stalwart with us, if only for a short time. We offer our sympathy to his family.
