Paul Ballard Keyser
In Loving Memory
Dear Keyser Family,
We are so saddened to hear of Paul’s passing.
The Bean and Keyser families have enjoyed a relationship since the 1940's when Ralph J. Bean was hired as an accountant for Utah Paper Box company (under Jim Keyser's leadership). In the late 1960's, Ralph’s son, Michael came to work for the Company and years later (after Ralph retired) became V.P. of Manufacturing and Paul's partner. Mike loved his 30+ years at the Box Company and was so gratified by the partnership with Paul. My Mother, Brother and I have all worked many jobs at the Box over the years, and to say it influenced our lives is a gross understatement. I literally grew up running around those old halls and I only got called into the boss’s office once.
Paul was always so kind and generous with our family. He was especially good to RuthEllen when Mike passed away in 2000. We will never forget his generosity during that difficult time. Our family will always be grateful for Paul. We are consoled with the many fond memories of lunches, test drives, shared vacations and working together.
Our sincerest condolences,
Adrienne, RuthEllen and Mathis Bean

Dear Steve & Carri,
My association with your dad started when he as a salesman for UPB and myself as sales and marketing at Covenant Communications did business. We became great friends and I have great memories of our mutual association through the years. The lunches, discussions and practical jokes we shared are some of my fondest reminiscences.
Best wishes to you and your family,
Lew Kofford
Paul was a very special friend of mine. Eventhough we were in the same business we learned alot from each other. He invited my wife and myself to join him in a 4 day trip to Moab what a very special vacation. At another time we went snowmobiling outside of Salt Lake City. He was a man for all seasons and My Son ,Stuart, and Wife,Mary, send their Condolences to Paul's entire family
Dear Cari and Steve and Family,
We are all heartbroken over the loss of your father and our close friend PK.
As so many have stated, he was a magnificent human being with a great capacity to love and care for the many people in his life.
We feel honored and indeed privileged to have been a part of the UPB family for so many years and especially to know him on a more personal level as well.
He will be sorely missed by all and We will certainly miss the quiet times with him during our monthly lunch dates and get togethers.
Please know of our love for you and your families and may you find comfort in the tremendous legacy of love, service and example he shared with everyone he met.
May God bless all of you in the coming days, weeks and months ahead.
Godspeed PK!
All of our Love,
Scott and Mary Cowan and famy❤️
