Richard F. Keeler
In keeping with Richard's endless humor, he wrote his own obituary. Nibley resident Richard Fairbanks Keeler returned to the factory on 10/08/09 hoping for a complete overhaul, but to the relief of his acquaintances, replacement parts were unavailable. He is surely there visiting with the Plant Manager and friends while writing Letters to the Editor of the Heavenly Gazette. His death enabled the manufacturer to perform a careful examination to correct several design flaws in case a new production run is needed. Most folks hope another run like that one won't be necessary. His death caused his friends great concern. They will not know where to turn now for bad advice. Fortunately, Richard had already given them - and everyone else within earshot - more bad advice than they ever needed. It will probably tide them over. He served in the U.S. Army 145th Field Artillery Battalion from 1950-52 during the Korean War. Richard was a research chemist for Veterinary Research Laboratory at Montana State University in Bozeman for four years, at the USDA National Animal Disease Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, for four years, and finally at the USDA Poisonous Plant Research Laboratory at USU in Logan, Utah, for 24 years. Richard did research on metabolic, infectious and poisonous plant-induced diseases in livestock and other animals and was the author/coauthor of nearly 300 research papers and books. He loved writing and reading. He believed all ideas and opinions should be judged on their own merit, rather than their source. Richard loved travel and the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman, hunter, and loved traveling the back roads of the United States. He liked people with dirt, grease and cow manure under their fingernails. As a young man, Richard was a fine trumpet player and enjoyed playing in jazz bands in the late 1940's. He played basketball in high school and one year at BYU but seldom heard the whistle blow. He watched the house lights to see when the game was over. His own lights have gone out now, and he has gone to the showers in the great beyond. He is awaiting your arrival. Bring a dozen nightcrawlers. He has gone fishing with the Lord. He was a sterling example of integrity, strong moral character, hard work, unending humor, courage in the face of life's challenges, excellence in his professional pursuits and research and dedication to his family and to God. We feel honored to be called his. Goodbye for now, A. Sid Ophillis, Fare-thee-well, good humor-man. It will be hard to get along without you, But we'll do the best we can.
