Frank D. Keeler ’35

Body

AFTER A NUMBER OF SERIOUS AILMENTS and operations that he bore with stoicism, Frank Keeler died in L.A. Feb. 28, 1993. Frank was born in Pennsylvania in 1912 and entered Princeton from Wyoming Seminary. He majored in politics. He roomed with Lou Blissard and Frank Trowbridge.

Frank leaves three sons, John R. III, Frank D. Jr., and James R. The two younger are children by his second wife, whom he married in 1951 and from whom he was divorced in 1962. For the last several years, Frank had lived in comfort in a retirement community in California, where he enjoyed reading and watching TV. His ex-wife, June, helped look after him and the class sends sincere condolences to her and to his three sons.
