Wallace Peterman Obituary

Wallace H. Peterman, Sr.

Salisbury-Wallace Hampton Peterman, Sr., 73, of Salisbury, Md passed away, Sunday, January 5, 2014 at Peninsula Regional Medical Center. He was born May 15, 1940 in Princess Anne, the son of the late Violet and John Hampton Peterman.

Wallace was well known and respected for his excellence in the landscaping field as the President of Wallace Peterman Landscaping, Inc, a company he started in 1972. He was a member of the Redman Lodge in Fruitland. He loved playing cards with his friends, being on his tractor, either working or farming and the sound of his rabbit dogs barking as they ran through the woods picking up a rabbit's scent, and eating tomatoes like apples. Wallace will be remembered as a hard working, loving family man and loyal friend to many.

Wallace is survived by his wife of 53 years, Patricia Ann Peterman; his daughter Deborah Dryden and son-in-law Michael Dryden of Salisbury; his sisters Catherine Doyle of Princess Anne, Janice Dail and husband Lonnie of Crisfield; Norma Collier and husband John of Princess Anne; his brother-in-law James Pusey of Salisbury; his sister-in-law Paulette Smith of Salisbury; nine grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his son Wallace Peterman Jr. in 1998.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, January 10, at 11:00 am at the Hinman Funeral Home in Princess Anne. Friends may call at the funeral home Thursday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and on Friday from 10:00 to 11:00 am. The Rev. Jamie DeVaughn will officiate. Interment will be in Beechwood Cemetery in Princess Anne.

Wallace was as good a man as they come. From being a committeeman at Wayne Pump and he was also a staunch supporter for the average taxpayer in Wicomico County. His actions spoke louder than his words. He was very well liked and received and I always enjoyed his company. My condolences go out to his family as he will be missed.

Dear Pat and family,
Wallace was a wonderful man a person you can be proud to call family. He was also a precious friend, and one who always had a smile and kind word for those in his path. He was an asset to his community and using the skills given to him by the good Lord Wallace worked to care for his family and by doing so he made the earth a beautiful place. He will be remembered, loved and missed by those who knew and loved him. Gary and Nancy Tingle
