  Coach Keck was like a father to me and my brothers as we attended IWU and ran track.  When I think of IWU athletics, I think of Bob!  The memories we athletes have will live forever even though he has left us physically.  The CCIW and IWU have lost on it's great ambassadors!  Our condolences to Ann and the family.  You remain in our thoughts and prayers.

IWU Track and Bob Keck were one in the same.  I ran for North Central College in the 80's but one of my best friends was IWU's best track athlete so I was able to get to know him well.  He was quite a character but I could always feel there was a big old heart inside him.  It saddens me deeply to hear of his passing.  He will be sadly missed by many.  He made quite an impact on all of the athletes at IWU and the CCIW.  God Bless You Coach Keck!!!  You will be missed!     David Ryan NCC 86'

At Hot Springs High School have many fond memories of Bob, both personally and in several sport venues. Since our graduation together in 1948, visited infrequently with Bob; but have fond memories of 1952 in San Diego and 2008 at 60th class reunion. Our sincere condolences from our family to yours.
