His parents, Chrissy and Patrick Balster, took him to meet his great-grandma as soon as they left the hospital. Peggy was overjoyed to see him. She held him in her arms and smiled. Chrissy said that Peggy was ecstatic to meet Koller.
The name Koller also has a special significance for Patrick. He said that he always liked the name Cole, and Chrissy suggested Koller as a variation. They also liked that Koller William was the name of Chrissy’s grandfather, Peggy’s husband.
