Dear Brothers:
It is my sad duty to inform you that Brother Edward C. Keiser, an advisor
and past advisory chair to the Delta Alpha Chapter at the University of
Cincinnati, died of cancer Sunday at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati following
after a lengthy illness.
Brother Keiser, 65, resided in Newport, Ky., and had been an administrator
at UC for the past 39 years in a variety of positions ranging from residence
hall adviser, assistant dean of men, dean of men, director of Veterans'
Upward Bound Program, director of Veterans' Affairs, director of handicapped
students, and recently student conduct officer.
I had the privilege of knowing Brother Keiser as he also served as one of
the advisors when Delta Alpha was reactivated in 1990. He was active in
Scouting in the Cincinnati area and was a recipient of the Vigil Honor in
the Order of the Arrow several years ago.
He was nationally known and respected for his enthusiastic leadership role
in veterans' affairs and was president for four years of the National
Association of Veterans' Upward Bound Program.
Brother Keiser also served his community with the Human Involvement Project
of Cincinnati; was vice chairman of the Newport Planning and Zoning
Commission; and as an active member and past president of the Campbell
County (Ky.) Kiwanis Club.
Newport City Commissioner Jan Knepshield was quoted in the Cincinnati
Enquirer that Brother Keiser "was always available to help in any way."
His wife Ginny was quoted as saying: "There were never enough hours in the
day for Ed. He was a vital man with so many people and causes to attend to."
His daughter Mary Kay Crone noted that his woodworking shop was one of his
favorite places to be. "Each treasure he created for us is a lasting memento
of his generosity and talents."
To me, those three quotes leaves no doubt in my mind that he exemplified our
Fraternity's cardinal principles in his daily life.
Brother Keiser is survived by his two sons, two stepdaughters, six stepsons,
five sisters and two brothers.
Visitation is slated from 4 to 7 p.m. tonight (June17), with a memorial
service from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Busse & Borgman Funeral Home, 3464 Central
Parkway, Cincinnati.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11 a.m. Friday (June 18) at St.
Monica-St. George Church, 328 McMillian St. in Corryville, adjacent to the
UC campus.
Memorials can be made to the Ed Keiser Memorial Education Fund, Fifth-Third
Bank of Northern Kentucky, 1757 Monmouth St., Newport, KY 41071; or to the
educational fund of the donor's choice.
Just thought I'd let you know.
In Brotherhood,
Ed Richter
National Service / Communication Program Director
