Dr. Peter Meneghin was always a wonderful doctor in the Seacoast. He delivered my 2 sons in the 60's. I was delighted to be a fellow member along with him @ Seacoast Art Association and enjoyed seeing Peter's work that he shared. He will be missed. Rest in peace Peter.

Peter loved painting as do I and served with me on Seacoast Artist Assn's Scholarship committee many years ago. He always brought original insights to any conversation about art. It was a priviledge to know him and will be missed by me and his fellow artists.

My sincere sympathy to the Meneghin family. I didn't know the Dr., but I am friends (from long ago) of Dottie, and wish her and her family and all those close to Dr. Meneghin the strength to get through these times.

My deepest Sympathy to Dr Meneghin's Family. He was my mothers and sisters Dr for many many years and mine as well as a child. He actually delivered me. My mom spoke of him over the years of not only what a wonderful person he was but what a exceptional Dr he was and said there would never be another Dr like him. My mother passed just the day before on Sept 7. May you find peace and comfort in your memories during this sad time.

As so many have already said, Dr. Meneghin was also our family doctor when I was growing up and he made house calls when necessary. He was a wonderful man and I will always remember his bow ties. My sincere sympathies to your family.

I remember Dr. Meneghin rushed to my house at the corner of Post & Meadow Fox Roads in North Hampton when, at the age of 3, I stuck a hot clothes iron to the top of my hand. Every time I've looked at my scar, I have remembered my kind and gentle childhood doctor.
I remember he also came when my brother Gil and I both got chicken pox. Such a good doctor. He truly tended to us as if we were dear friends.
Because of him, I have never been afraid of doctors.
To his family and friends, I am deeply sorry for your loss.

He delivered 4 of my daughters and was such a gentle man. When one of my daughters was going to school to be a Surgical Tech, he took the time to tutor her. What a great man.
