To the Kelts family,
I knew Peter as a fellow peer counselor in high school. What an amazing time we had! After many years, he contacted me out of the blue after his transplant. It was a brief but wonderful reconnection. He was in my thoughts yesterday and I googled him, only to find out he had passed away. I offer you my deepest sympathies & my heartfelt prayers for peace during this time.

Peter was a fantastic man who was instrumental in the development of your family. In the short time that we knew him his sense of humor was extraordinary. He showed us the meaning of strength when dealing with his troubles and his resolve will be a part of us forever. We wish you the best and know that we can be counted on to help in any way we can.
