Tennis Robert Keck

Tennis Robert Keck, 87, of North Centre Township, passed away Thursday, August 8, 2019 at his residence. He was born May 24, 1932 in Berwick, a son of the late Homer and Ida (Davis) Keck. Tennis served in the Navy as a SeaBee during the Korean Conflict. After his discharge he worked at U. S. Radium for ten years before starting his own business as a mason, which he continued until retiring. Tennis loved to tinker. He was a true handyman who could fix just about anything that needed repaired. Riding motorcycles was a truly one of his passions. Fishing (especially in Canada), camping trips, and woodworking were among his many interests. Family time, however, was most important to Tennis. Surviving Tennis is his loving wife of 63 years, the former Agnes Dohl. Also surviving are three sons: Robert and wife, Marcia of Drums, Barry and wife, Brenda of Berwick, and Brian and wife, Twilah of Bloomsburg, grandchildren: Terrah Kester and husband, Kevin, Renae Robbins and husband, Jonathan, Amy Akin and husband, Will, Michelle Keck and companion, Denny, and Tonya Keck, and great-grandchildren: Evalyn, Logan, Elliot, and Wyatt, brother, Roger Keck, and many nieces and nephews. As well as his parents, Tennis was preceded in death by a grandson, Kristopher Keck and brother, Henry Keck. Services are private, at the convenience of the family. Contributions in Tennis' memory can be sent to the Evansville United Methodist Church, 8 Lights Road, Berwick, PA. 18603.
