PAUL PEEBLES

Remembering Paul today in light of our oldest daughter Erica Ottenberg´s birthday on Friday. Paul was the kindest, dearest dr when tending to our children. We will always remember his laugh and compassion!

Having spent much of my time away from the DC area in the last few years, I somehow had not heard about Paul's passing until today. Paul and Inger were our dear next door neighbors on Glenbrook Road in Bethesda for twenty years. My late wife Barb came from Swedish stock on her dad's side and Paul and I often remarked that Barb and Inger must have come out of the same gene pool. They were the kindest of neighbors, legendarily gracious entertainers in the beautiful home that was uniquely...

We only just learned about Dr. Peebles' death and are hurting for you all. He was such a lovely, compassionate, terrific doctor and person. We found the practice when Ilene was pregnant with our first child, and we have only just left it now that our youngest is 23. We will never forget his love and support when our oldest, Sam, was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. May his memory be for a blessing.

A truly previous human being. I trusted Dr. Peebles with children but his friendship touched our lives. We miss you.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Peebles passing. I just learned today when I referred a new mother to his practice and she shared with me his passing. Time, time, time. I was a young mother with three children and was referred to this man by one of my clients. I met this wonderful docter and did not care that I wrote a check for each appointment. He and his partners were just part of my children´s upbringing. I still remember my son asking him about his tie pin I mean each time he went to the...

I went to grade school with Paul and knew his family who were such lovely people. He was so smart and so much fun. We saw each other occasionally up until the mid 60’s and it was always fun to catch up. I don’t know why I Googled him 5/14/22. So sad but I’m happy that he had such a great life. His children and grandchildren must be so beautiful. Ginny Bissell Gesu ‘55

Inger, Gustav and Rebecca,

Peter and I were surprised and greatly saddened to learn of Paul’s death. Although we haven’t seen you in several years, we treasure the decades when we got together professionally (as Elizabeth Sarah Hart was his first private patient after he left the Cancer Institute) as well as socially.

Paul was a special man. Not only was he really smart with many diverse interests, but he also had a great sense of humor, was sensitive, caring and...

He really epitomized the caring physician. He listened. He couched his concerns and advice in language that met my needs. He made every child feel comfortable by sitting below them. (How did he know how critical that was?) He never gave the impression of any arrogance, remarkable in such a sharp, thoughtful and confidence inspiring physician. In short, he helped me raise my children by setting the tone and example of good child rearing and relating practice. Don't have any idea if I could...
