To the family of the late Stewart Keller, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I was a co-worker of Stewart when he worked for the Berkeley Community Mental Health Center. He was such a gentleman and everyone respected him. Even though we've not kept in contact we feel a deep sadness on his passing. May God bless you all and strengthen you through this difficult time.
