A memorial gathering for Jack Keller will be held Saturday, April 19th starting at 10 a.m. in the Eccles Conference Center at Utah State University. Keller’s wife, Sally Keller, who is also known as founder of Global Village Gifts, says Jack was known as an engaging colleague who thought deeply about world problems.

He dedicated his life to increasing water use efficiency in food production and was a sought-after speaker and international consultant long after his retirement from the university in 1986 as a department head of Irrigation Engineering.

Keller is survived by his sons Andy and Jeff and daughter Judith along with seven grandchildren.
