Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to read of Jim's death, but comforted knowing he and Nancy are together at last.

In Sept of 1969, my son was delivered with serious problems. Dr Peterson was in the nursery and literally saved his life. For almost 30 years he followed my sons progress. He was a wonderful man and Doctor.

Dr. Peterson was very helpful as our daughter was a failure to thrive baby. He kept in touch even during the 68 days we were at Riley. Happy to say she is now married with son and full time job. We did get thru those dark days. thank you Doc.

I worked with Dr. Peterson at the Elkhart Clinic from 1973 until he, Dr. Cassim, and Dr. Gattman started Bristol Street Pediatrics...He was wonderful to work with and for. Dr. Peterson had a great sense of humor and was always smiling. Go fly with the Angels...

He was my daughter doctor we she was a baby back in 1999 I real loved that doctor he cared for child he help me alot with her he is gone to be missed alot.

Thanks for taking care of my son. Rip Prayers to family

I worked with Dr. Peterson in the nursery at E.G.H.Was a very kind and soft spoken man. If he ever got excited or scared he never showed it! May he fly into paradise with all the saints and angles, and may the great almighty shine his perpetual light on him now and forever. Sharon

My deepest sympathies to Dr Peterson´s family and friends. He was my children´s pediatrician in the 70´s. Wonderful doctor! Always trusted him. He took exceptional care of them. So sad to hear of his passing.

What a wonderful man and physician. He assisted so many of us by teaching at the bedside. Soft spoke, caring, and capable. He blessed so many and I have fond memories of the time we worked together.
