Rochester, NH

Harold Eugene Keller (Gene) passed away peacefully on December 12, 2024, at the age of 71, after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease.   Gene was a beloved brother, father, son, husband, uncle, grampy and friend.  He was known for his love of ice cream, days at the camp, selflessness, a big smile, infectious laugh and willingness to lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it.

Born on October 3, 1953, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Gene served our country in the United States Navy as an Electrician for six years, some of those years spent serving on the USS Hunley.

After his time in the Navy, he worked as a Master Electrician owning his own business, working at Ray's Marina in Milton, New Hampshire and a 13-year career working for Strafford County as a Master Electrician where he retired.

He is survived by his wife of 11 years, Karin (Stabile) Keller, his mother Doris (Fallon) Begin, son Aaron Keller, son Ryan Keller and his wife Jillian (Ripley) Keller, sister Joan Arms, stepson Garrett Goodell and his wife Payton, and grandchildren, Kolton, Desmond and Quincy.  Gene's legacy will be carried in the hearts he touched, in the kindness he showed and with the family he waits for.

He was preceded in death by his stepfather Leo Begin and brother Stephen Keller.

His sons will be holding a celebration of life at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Gene's honor to the Alzheimer's Association, VFW or another organization dedicated to the wellbeing of our veterans.
