Mr. Ketterer Memorial

On Sunday January 10, 2010 people from many communities gathered in the RHAM High School auditorium to remember the life of the late Mr. Ketterer. The service began with an alumni brass quintet and what to follow was extraordinary. It started with an invocation and then personal stories of him. The stories were about the good times that brought back many laughs and some stories that brought you to tears. People talked about his love for music and his love for his students and his love for his friends and family. Following the stories there was a video and a slide show. The video showed how happy he was with what he did and how proud he was of his students and the slide show showed him as a loving father. After the video some current RHAM students played through the cadence that Mr. Ketterer created and then some closing words were said and the memorial ended with the brass quintet playing. Afterword the stories didn't end - just like his memory and legacy wont end. He was a loving father, co-worker, teacher, and a friend and he will be missed.
