Ron Keller, who led his last Naperville Municipal Band concert last week after 57 years as the group’s director and 70 years as a member, has been honored by the city of Naperville with an honorary street designation.
Central Park Road is now “Ron Keller Commemorative Way.” The director emeritus was presented with a sign bearing the moniker at Tuesday’s night’s Naperville City Council meeting.Keller, 84, stepped down from his longstanding post following the band’s Aug. 10 concert in Central Park attended by an estimated 3,000 peope.
“Naperville was only 28 years old when the band was formed, and it’s still here and thriving because of all the support we get,” he said. “It’s been a great run and I have a great bunch of people who play in the band that are very understanding and realize it’s time,” he said. “I don’t want them thinking, boy, that old guy should have quit a long time ago. So I’m going out on top.”
