Hans H. Keil

Hans H. Keil passed away on the night of August 17th, 2020, at the age of 88, in Taylorsville, Utah. Hans was born January 4, 1933 to Emil and Luise Keil in Nuernberg, Germany. He met his wife Irma Keil, of 64 years, in Nuernberg, Germany in 1954 and they were married July 6, 1956. Hans spent his youth in Nuernberg, Germany living through the second World War. In his adolescence, he attended M.A.N to begin his lifetime career as a Master Machinist. Hans and Irma then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1956 where they began their life and family. With his wife, Irma, he lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for 64 years. Together, they raised three children, and worked very hard to earn a living. Hans was a man of many talents: an expert mechanic, master machinist, a train enthusiast, a wonderful friend, and beyond anything else a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He found joy in many things including his model trains, cars, antique stores, and so much more. Hans will forever be loved and missed by those he left behind. Hans never hesitated to tackle any difficult responsibility, and was more than willing to help anyone.  He was a man who demonstrated the great pride that a man may take in hard work, and worked hard to pass that trait onto the family.
Hans is survived by his wife Irma Keil, children Louise Koenig, Peter Keil, and Hans Keil Jr., as well as 7 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
Losing him has been a devastation to us all, and we will miss him greatly.
Goodbye Hans, we all love you.
