So sorry to hear your news. I didn't know Peter, because I live in England. Peter's father Cecil Kellaway was my grandfather's cousin. Cecil's father Edwin Kellaway was my great grandmother's brother. My father and my brother were named Edwin after him. My grandad kept in touch with his Uncle John Kellaway and he wrote grandad a letter to say Cecil had died . He also said grandad and Cecil were so alike, they could have been twins. Grandad died in 1975.

I was a 21 year old research assistant for Dr Kellaway right out of college. He was one of the kindest and brightest scientist I have ever met. His research improved the lives of so many children. He and his wife loved scuba diving and I would love to think he's doing that today. I have several professional friends today who also enjoyed working for him at his hospital clinics and research labs.

To the Kellaway Family,

I have known Dr. Kellaway since 1984 when I went to work at The Methodist Hospital in the Neurophysiology Department. Although, I didn't work for Dr. Kellaway directly, he was always very kind to me and a delight to be around. I am proud to have been a part of his team for 3 years.

I am very saddened by your loss. You are in my prayers and thoughts. God bless you all and my deepest condolences.
