Not sure what to say?

Attended Newport High with Peter & he was always so nice to be with. My friend ,Phyllis Sabolski , from Texas visited me many years ago & we called him @ his office in Allentown. He came to the phone & we had a nice conversation with him about Newport. For those of you who may not remember her, she was the gorgeous red-headed cheer leader who moved to N.J. in her sophomore year. She would have been in the class of 1955. So glad we did that. He was so glad to hear from us. Sorry to all who...

To the Dr. Peter Keblish family,
My late husband (Lawrence W. Cook)) was the first person in my family to meet Dr. 'K' back in 1987. Upon returning from his consultation, I remember Larry saying, "this is the first doctor who made me feel like he had all the time in the world to talk to me. I felt his confidence, that a knee replacement would go well. He's the one I want to do this surgery." The rest is history. Larry's knee was successfully replaced in 1987 and...

To the wonderful Keblish family,
I've belatedly learned of Dr. Keblish's passing early this year when attempting to make an appointment a few days ago. I can only imagine your moment of loss, based on how stunned and saddened was mine. Brief as my family's visits were, upon occasions of consultations, surgeries, checkups etc., since 1987, Dr. Peter Keblish was "the man" we turned to get things 'working right' (knees, in this case). A perfect knee replacement for my...

went to high school with peter and we were good friends...he was always so nice to everyone

To Paul and the entire Keblish Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss -- Tom & Dawn Gaydos

I was informed to-day 3/7 of our loss, Dr Keblish made a small fortune repairing my body. We met when the Dr. was on Chew St. Our last meeting was Jan. 13 this year. I want to thank you Peter for the conference you gave me, it aloud me to live my life to it's fullest, I'm sure God is pleased to have you home, from a very grateful friend.

My deepest sympathy to the Keblish and Sinclair family. I grewup with Peter in Glen Lyon. We lived a few homes apart.We called him "Sonny" and his sister"Dolly" His father Peter Sr. and mother Sally took me to Philadelphia a few times to see him play football at U of P. May HE rest in peace. WALTER FUDJAK-Glen Lyon,Pa.

My family and I were very sorry to hear of Dr. Keblish's death. Several of us were his patients: Edgar H. Leander, H. Gassaway Brown, III, Susan Leander and myself, Janet Forse.

We wish to express our sympathy to Dr. Keblish's family and his staff. We know it is a great loss for all of you.

We are so sadddened by his passing. He served us exceedingly well. We benefitted from his skills, his concern about us and his friendly, yet professional association with us. We...

A great Doctor who will missed very much. Dr. Keblish has been my family's orthopedic doctor since my daughter dislocated her knee in 1980. We became his patients when he had his offices on Chew St. We found his personality and professionalism to be impeccable.

To his staff at OOA, we know you have lost a great friend, mentor and associate.

To his family, we extend our deepest sympathies and have you in our prayers.
