Robert “Bob” Keller 4 June, 1945 – 9 March, 2025
Debbie & Leigh Osborne
Today we’ll celebrate a life lived in full, with the beautiful family and friends of Bob & Judy. Another default friendship brought about by friend connections, beach walks with our dogs, and many coffees and laughs. Winter is just around the corner, but the sun is shining for you today Bob. Fly high!

I had the absolute pleasure of coordinating industry short courses with Bob through the Australian Water School over the years, right across the country. His kind and gentle nature, deep expertise in hydraulics, and commitment to the water industry made a lasting impact and will be sorely missed. It was a real joy to see him last year at his induction into Engineers Australia's Hall of Fame. I was genuinely touched that he not only remembered my kids—but even their ages—and so kindly asked after them. That was Bob to a tee. He will be deeply missed.

I am deeply grateful to Bob. I will always cherish his kindness, generosity and trust in me. We explored an interface of hydraulics and fish biology together, and he was deeply curious about the fish and very knowledgeable and practical when it came to the hydraulics. Bob made me feel capable and special. Having soup for lunch, breaking bread with him, is a great memory. Thank you Bob , wishing you deep peace and satisfaction🙏. Warmth and condolences to Judy and family.
