Obituary for Glenn Keller
Glenn A Keller (74) of Hamburg, NJ was killed in an accident on July 22nd, 2021. As an avid motorcycle enthusiast, his life was tragically cut short when he was struck by another vehicle while riding on the roads that he loved.
Glenn grew up in Cliffside Park, NJ and served as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. He first served as the shop steward and then was elected president of the Cliffside Park NALC (National Association of Letter Carriers) branch for approximately 25yrs. Altogether, Glenn spent about 38 years in service to the United States Postal Service.
Glenn is survived by his beloved family, Genevieve (Gini), his wife of 49 years, and his daughter Christine of Wantage. Other family members include Joan Tuite of Bayville, NJ and Dolores Tuite of Bricktown, NJ. Glenn was predeceased by his parents Richard A. & Mary S. Keller of Cliffside Park NJ.
As a young man, Glenn loved going to car and motorcycle shows and started bringing his daughter Christine when she was very young. He came to Hamburg, NJ in 1999 after living in Fairlawn, NJ for 18yrs. He quickly came to love the area and enjoyed participating in car and motorcycle shows that were centered around raising money for children, veterans, animal rescues, and first responders. One of his favorite car shows to attend and volunteer for was the Wantage Township Veterans Memorial Car, Truck, and Bike Show that was organized by his daughter and his wife for 10 years. Some of his other favorite shows to attend were the NAM Knights NKMC Parent Chapter Annual Car and Bike Show in Carlstadt, NJ and Hot Rods and Harleys in Rahway, NJ. Glenn always enjoyed finding more room in his garage to display his ever-growing collection of over 120 trophies.
In his free time, Glenn loved riding, maintaining and showing his Corvette and three Harleys. He took great pride in caring for his vehicles and going for rides with his daughter and her partner Mark Santia. He also had a great love of animals, especially dogs, and held a special place in his heart for his furry friends Alvin, Muggle, and Opie.
A private memorial service will be held for family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Glenn’s honor.
