Dr. Jeffries served on the faculty of Boston University School of Medicine, and Family Medicine Residencies in Augusta, ME, Utica, NY, Janesville, WI, and Malden, MA, retiring in 1997.

I loved Uncle Peter and Aunt Jeanne deeply. So many happy memories through the years; the first being a family gathering in the backyard of their house in Peterborough decades ago. Another spending the weekend as a child to go skiing. I came down with some virus and Drs. Aunt Jeanne Dr's. Uncle Peter administered a shot in my backside and whatever it was disappeared.

A last visit with Uncle Peter before the virus, we were "picking" flowers out of the garden and "tending" to the tomatoes. He seemed very happy and very well cared for.

My Gratitude to Charles for the tender care and attention he gave both Uncle Peter and Aunt Jeanne while they lived with him.

My deepest sympathies to you all.
