Harold K. Keller, 89, formerly of Mount Joy, died on June 6 at the Brethren Village, Lititz, Pa. He was survived by his wife of 68 years, Helen Keller, and eight children and their spouses: Peggy Crowl (Sam), Patsy Hoffer (Bob), Judy Beiler (Glen), Tim Keller (Brenda), Joette Peters (Dale), Amy Wells (Dave), Matthew Keller (Kristina), and Benjamin Keller. He is also survived by 19 grandchildren and their 11 spouses and 28 great-grandchildren. Harold was preceded in death by a son, Harold Keith Keller; his parents, Christian and Ethel Keller; his sister, Alice Keller Stoner; and his brothers, Galen and Christian Keller. A sign that read, Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so to them, Matthew 7:12, was on display in Harolds house, and the saying encompassed all aspects of his life. Seeing his family together was his primary delight, and the larger the gathering, the better. Though he joked about running out of food at gatherings, an end to the food never occured, or, coincidentally, his love. Harold and Helen modeled a marriage where agreement with ones spouse was more important than the decision they were making. This was a legacy of unity that is cherished by his children. Harold and Helen were members of The Worship Center since 1977 and were involved in the beginning years of the church. Harold was a graduate of Heidelberg Township High School (1950), and his 8 foot, 4 inch vault made him Lebanon Countys Pole Vault Champion his senior year. He was also a graduate of Reisch Auction School (1960) and The Realtors Institute (1966). Harold worked at Keller Bros. Ford, Eberlys Furniture Store, Keller Auctions, and Lancaster County Realtor, and ended his working years driving for Manheim Auto Auction. Harold was well known in the community for his work as a realtor, auctioneer, appraiser, and Lancaster County Zoning hearing board member. Harolds dream as a child was to become an auctioneer. Together with Helen, he started Keller Auctions in 1960 and opened Keller Cellar (a place for local teens to get together on weekend nights) in the mid-1960s. Harold was the auctioneer for many benefit auctions throughout the southeast PA area. His favorite was held each June for Lancaster 4-H, where he auctioned off 4-H strawberries for 54 years. The highest bid recorded for a quart was $600. He was a member of the Southeast Chapter of the Pennsylvania and National Auctioneers Association and inducted into the Pennsylvania Auctioneers Hall of Fame in January 2012. Harold actively served the Mount Joy Community through work with the Mount Joy Rotary, in which he was a Past President, as well as work on the Mount Joy Borough Council and Chamber of Commerce. He also served as Judge of Elections. For over 35 years, Harold and Helen were Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus at various events in the local community. Harold had a number of hobbies, including woodworking and collecting pencils, stamps, canes, and antiques. Harold helped to create a Winross collectors club of America in 1988. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff at Brethren Village and Hospice and Community Care.
