Former senior lecturer in anatomy Leeds (b 1917; q Leeds 1940), died from pneumonia on 8 August 2005.
Kenneth Walls's early career, punctuated by five years' war service in the Royal Army Medical Corps, was that of an aspiring surgeon. Illness, however, precipitated a change of tack. He was appointed lecturer in anatomy at Leeds in 1949, becoming arguably the best loved teacher in the medical school as “Daddy” Walls. He was made a life fellow of the university in 1982. Predeceased by a son, he leaves a wife, Marguerite; a step-daughter; and a daughter.
