Not sure what to say?

I assisted Dr Kretschmer in surgery at Group Health. He was a real gentleman, excellent surgeon, fun loving, extremely smart. He cared deeply about people. RIP Dr K

I served in Vietnam with dr kretschmer, he wrote a letter of recommendation for me when I applied to medical school , he was a mentor and source of inspiration . It was an honor and pleasure to serve with him, he was a great man.

Antje, I am so sorry for your loss. I still think of you and your family from time to time. Wishing you peace in your time of sorrow. Jeanette Lanata

I worked with Peter at Group Health back in 1990-1993. He was my favorite doctor. I remember when he had surgery on his hand. I dropped off a gift basket from the nurses in the SAC (Surgical Acute Care) unit. He was a talented surgeon and had a great sense of humor. I was searching his name because I just moved back into town last May and wanted to visit him. I'm so sorry I didn't look sooner. Sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man.

Enjoyed our skiing and mountain conversations very much .
Thank you for being a Lopez Island Golf Club member. Bob Hall

What a true gentleman. In a high pressure career he was always so gracious and a true physician's doc, putting the needs of his patients paramount.
He excelled in so many endeavors, a true renaissance man. My condolences for this great loss. Fred Heidrich
