My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of Dr. Krell’s family. I worked with Dr. Krell for 15 years at Houston Methodist Baytown department of psychiatry. He was a “brilliant” man, not just in mind but also in his person. That brilliance has forever touched me as I know it has touched countless others. His “brilliance” still shines!
My sincere condolences goes out to Peggy and his family for his loss. I worked with him since 1977 and found him to be a truly caring and gifted doctor. He will be missed by many people.
RIP Teddy. I have known you for 70 years and will forever remember our times together. We had some great times growing up in Pasadena and wonderful memories will always be with me. Let’s bid 84 next time we see each other.
Cheers
