Henry William Keller, Jr., 81, of Severna Park, passed away on April 8, 2024. He was born on May 27, 1942 to Henry William Keller, Sr. and Margaret Gerhardt Keller in Baltimore, MD and was raised in Glen Burnie, MD.  He lived most of the last 55 years of his life in Severna Park, except for a period of several years in Danbury, CT for work.

Henry graduated from St. Charles College (School) in Catonsville, MD and would later receive his bachelor's degree in philosophy from St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore.  He began a long career in retail management at Montgomery Ward in the Catalog Division, holding several positions of increasing responsibility until joining Caldor, where he served in several positions, including director of distribution planning in the corporate offices in Connecticut.  After leaving Caldor, Henry served as transportation manager for Johnson Controls in Fort Meade, Maryland, retiring in 2008.

In his younger years, Henry was active in the Round Bay Community and served briefly as its President.  He enjoyed fishing and crabbing in the Severn River and vacationing with family in Bethany Beach, Delaware and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  He was a life-long fan of the Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore Colts and later, the Baltimore Ravens.  Henry loved watching science fiction and horror movies and shows, and also enjoyed reading books in those genres.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Suzanne Keller; two children, Steven H.
