Dr. Peters was our family Pediatrician for our sons Tom, age 45 and Richard 41.1975-1993.. I remember once he returned my phone call with both Tommy and I answering the phone at the same time. Tommy said ” Dr. Peters how did you know this number?” Dr. Peters said “Magic!” I loved it…Richard age ten came into our bedroom with a severe stomach ache. Turns out he has appendicitis. Tom was a Hillsborough Fire Captain and had a back injury cancelling our trip houseboat to Shasta. This time we had a reservation with appendicitis causing a doubt for the trip. Dr. Peters asked Dr. Quido , ” Can he get on a houseboat?” Dr.Quido said “Yes.” We toured Shasta with Richard looking like a refugee with weight loss and son Tom driving a 50 foot houseboat only available the few days we had rescheduled. Tommy spent the trip jumping off the houseboat..I truly loved this kind man. We were so blessed to have him as our Pediatrician. We share your grief. I love seeing his picture. Thank you family of Richard Peters for sharing him with us. We send you our best in your sad time remembering him..Thomas and Allene Ball, Tommy John and Richard…I remember Dr Peters liking the name Richard we named Rich because it it was his name also.
