I regret having lost contact with Bill after his graduation from Tulane. He was a true Fraternity Brother in every way and had a profound influence on so many of his Brother Delts. Bon chance, mes ami.

Bill was my Big Brother when we were at the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Tulane. He was also one of my best frinds back then. Bill was one of the best, caring , most friendly and yet toughest guy I have known. I will always remember those days in New Orleans together and regret we did not stay in touch with each other.

I first met Mr. Peterson when I was helping my grandmother, Delia Cano. He always made me laugh. He was always quick with the joke. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. I know he is up there with my grandmother having a great time.

I am sad to hear of Bill's passing. Growing up as neighbors I remember the summer nights playing ditch'em with all of the neighborhood kids. Those were the fun good old days.
My sincerest condolences to Bill's wife and the rest of the Peterson family. You are all in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's death. Bill and I first met in seventh grade and he became my high school boyfriend, but we lost touch as our colleges and lives took us in different directions. I have so many wonderful memories of my years knowing Bill. I am saddened by his early death - much too soon. My deepest sympathy to his wife and family for your loss.
