William S.
Keller, Jr.
Oct 17, 1955 — Sep 27, 2026
Cassville
William Samuel Keller Jr., 70, of Cassville PA passed away peacefully surrounded by those who loved him dearly on September 27, 2026, just six weeks after being diagnosed with liver cancer, Bill was the loving husband and best friend of Diane M. Keller. They celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on April 14, 2026. He was born at Ft. McClellan in Anniston, AL on October 17, 1955, son of the late William S. Keller Sr. and the late Nancy (Ulsh) Shirey. We are forever grateful for the years spent with Bill. He will be deeply missed by his bride, Diane, his children; Amy Keller and husband Christopher Barket of Schuylkill Haven PA, Kyle Courtright and wife Cody-Rose of Airville, PA and Zach Valentine and his significant other Rachel Gibson of Palmyra, PA. He was lovingly referred to as "Pappy" by Shelby Walkusky and husband Ryan, Mina Barket and Miles Courtright. In life Bill was an avid motorcyclist, finding a sense of freedom and adventure on any road anywhere. Motorcycles were more than a hobby - they were a true passion and great source of happiness throughout his life. He also enjoyed fishing, boating, camping, scuba diving, kayaking, gardening and canning. He also had a love of guns, reloading and shooting. He even achieved his black belt in karate. Bill was a 1973 graduate of Blue Mountain High School. Bill began working at Cressona Aluminum in 1979, soon after the company opened its doors. He retired 42 years later in 2021, working most of those 42 years as a supervisor. He is survived by his siblings: Andy Motko and wife Eileen of Schuylkill Haven PA, Mitchell Motko and wife Amy of Schuylkill Haven PA and Melanie Weider and husband Michael of Friedensburg, PA. Bill shared a particularly close relationship with his brother-in-law, Randy Imbt (aka Uncle Buck), who was not only family but a dear friend. Their relationship was built on years of laughter and experiences (some good, some questionable). At Bill's request, no services will be held. "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul - The road is calling and I must go..."
