Not sure what to say?

So sad to hear about his passing, yet extremely Grateful to have been taught by the best in TMJ Disfunctions. I felt honored to be his international student from Curaçao; and I can proudly say that I´m the only one in this part of the Caribbean, if not the World, that enjoyed his teachings at Georgetown. Rest in Peace dr. Neff Noralie Riley DDS, D´86 Curaçao, Dutch Caribbean

A day in my professional life does not go by that I ask myself, "What would Peter do?". I felt an immediate bond with him from the first time I showed him a wax-up in sophomore crown and bridge lab at Georgetown, through the privilege of working alongside him in the Department of Occlusion. Everyday I practice the principles he taught me. Peter never made it easy, but he always made it right. I loved him like a brother and am eternally grateful he was in my life. I know the emptiness I feel...

Dr Neff was my mentor. His passion for dentistry led me to become the Prosthodontist that I am today. He was a great educator and friend of mine. May he rest in peace

He was a mentor, a father and and friend. He was a real man to lean on anytime. I owe everything I achieved in my dental profession to him.
May God bless his and Mrs. Neff soul. He will be really missed.

Dr. Neff was a very good person. May he rest in peace . My sympathy to his lovely daughters and all of Dr. Neff’s grandchildren.

Pete was a major force and influence in creating and forming my future in the treatment of TMD patients. Dentistry has lost a great legend who can never be replaced in our hearts and in Dentistry.

Such a great educator and giving man. Peter spent many hours teaching my residents at Walter Reed (Georgia Ave) and at the University of Maryland and was a fountain of information and excitement. We were all better for knowing and learning from this great man. Thank you, Carl Driscoll

Dr. Neff lived an incredible life, most often by his own making. He will be missed, but his inspiration will be his legacy. God Bless.
