Mr Chambers
the king of surgery left us and no one can ever replace him
I have never worked with someone like him
outstanding man
he is the real deal
He was the doctor,the father,the friend,the colleague, the teacher, the lifesaver and the trauma master
his presence was the relief and comfort to every anaesthetist and surgical colleagues especially in trauma cases
Basically He was the healing angel and the best surgeon
There are not enough words to describe the immense loss we all feel.
He will always will be loved and remembered by us
RIP Mr Chambers

The end of an era! Wonderful memories and a great appreciation for all he did for our community, in so many ways, over the last 37 years.

I mourn a close and dear friend. I will miss our deliberations on solving the world’s problems; our hours on the phone trying improve Kev’s notorious lack of computer skills; our games of cards; being a somewhat nervous passenger in his car; and so much more. Kev was a big man who leaves a big legacy and an indelible memory on all of us who had the privilege of knowing him.
