So very sorry to hear this. I enjoyed working with him at St. Luke´s. He truly cared about the patients. I recall a time that he personally went down to the cafeteria to get ice for a patient to make the barium more palatable. He took his time with each patient and also showed concern for us, having us step out of the room so us not to be unnecessarily exposed to the radiation. My deepest sympathy for your loss, may your memories bring comfort at this sad time,

So much time has passed, it's been almost 20 years since Doc gave me a new lease on life. I never got to, or could ever thank him enough. Truly a great man!
My condolences and prayers to you Robbie, Stephen and family. May God continue to surround you all. I think of Doc often.

Has it been so long? Time is so strange. Doc, you've been in heaven a while now, yet so many still think of you here. I'm savoring the life you gave me and still communicate with some others whom you similarly saved.
Robbie, Stephen, all blessings to you. I think of you daily in the moment right after I thank Doc for his gifts. So glad to hear of life going on for you all.

Bill, 9 years. I can´t believe that 9 Years have passed without you. We miss you as much today as the night we lost you. Our hearts are still broken without you.
You would be so proud of the man that our Stephen that has grown into. He lives by every value that you taught him but most importantly he´s an amazing husband and Daddy! He truly had a wonderful role model.
You would be so in love with baby William! I wish you were here to hold him. I wish that he would have gotten the chance to grow up knowing and loving you.
We love you and we miss you !

Dearest Robbie,
It was quite by accident that I found Doc's obituary. I had no idea he had passed and am beyond saddened. He (and YOU) changed my life for the better and I will never forget the wonderful care I received from both of you.
Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that I have thought of both of you so often over the years.

Robbie,
I was just thinking of you and Dr. Peters. as I was reflecting on what would have been my Mary's 40th birthday this weekend and decided to see how you were doing or if retirement had come to call and I found this. My deepest condolences to you, Stephen and all of Bill's family. Such a wonderful person who was able to help so many live better lives and be there to say a few words when things didn't work out for Mary. Such an honorable and noble person lost.

Reading all the kind words and know they're all true. Doc was amazing. He gave me my life back and I am able to be here playing with my two beautiful daughters that wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Doc.
I will be grateful for him every time I see my girls.

Thank you, Robbie and Stephen, for keeping this online. Many times over the past year, I have read these and looked at the pictures. I don't think a day goes by that I don't think of you and Dr. Peters. He was a wonderful, caring man and you completed him. He gave so many of us a life we wouldn't have had without his skill and dedication. He will never be forgotten!

Robbie, I just stumbled on this obituary and was saddened to see it was true. Obviously it has been a long time (1984-85) since we have seen each other, but I was at the start of this romance! It appears you have had a wonderful life and I am happy you had a chance to experience the greatness of it. I am very sad for the loss to both you and your son. Peace to you always.

Dr. Peters,
I have been reading these beautiful tributes to your life today. Although, I've seen them about a thousand times since this site was posted. Whenever I find myself having a hard time with your loss, I come on this site and read these words and look at your pictures and feel your presence around me.
I was driving home from a long day of work and class tonight and feeling completely drained when I turned on the radio to be filled with the sound of jack Scott. I instantly thought of the day you told me that a good work ethic is something to be admired. I instantly was having an easier time because I felt I was making you proud.
When I come to your home to visit with Mrs Peters and your best boy Stephen I feel your presence fill the home. How could it not, it was your favorite place to be. God, I miss running into your bedroom with Stephen in the morning and seeing your face light up when you would see us. I miss the four of us hanging out in your room while you watch your made for tv infomercials you loved! And hearing you rave that Mrs Peters made you the best French toast ever! When I would hear you talk about anything she would do or see the way you would look at each other, I would think to myself, this is the greatest love story ever told.
I miss you and Stephen teasing each other and me sneaking you pretzels on the couch while watching one of your cowboy shows. Mrs peters and Stephen have their comedic moments but no one could deliver a one liner like you! I miss your humor cracking me up for weekends on end. I felt so special whenever I would be in your company, you had a wonderful gift of making everyone feel like they were the most important thing in life. I can remember the day I was given a tough time at work and mrs peters told you about it, 5 min later I received a text from Steve that you wanted to drive down to straighten some people out for me! You would always refer to me as one of the kids, and my goodness did you and Mrs Peters make me feel like one of your own. I can hear your voice right now saying " will somebody please tell that child to stop calling me Dr Peters"! Well, I'm sorry, but I can't help it, you earned that title and I was so proud to address you with it. Stephen and I were having lunch the other day and you were the topic of conversation as you mostly are with us. I said to Stephen, how cool is it that you dad was a surgeon, and Stephen looked at me and said "pretty damn cool", with such pride for his daddy. I instantly started laughing and when your son asked what I was laughing about I reminded him of the time you told me that you don't have enough time in the day to tell me how cool you used to be. Well, here's a secret Dr. Peters, I still thought you were cool when you were telling me and I still think you are the coolest guy I've ever met.
When Stephen and I went anywhere you would always say "you call if you need anything at all, I'll be there in a second". That was just the type of heart you had. I'm so blessed to have known you and to be blessed to be able to have Mrs Peters and Stephen in my life. Not only do they make you live on, but they are filled with your compassion and heart.
I try to be strong for them both, but nights like these I just really miss you and needed to let you know. You said anything I need just let you know. Please continue to be our angel here on earth, I feel you everywhere. I will continue to pray to you, I know you're getting us all through our tough days and making our hearts lighter when you can.
I love you Dr. Peters. A man with a heart so big, God couldn't even let it live, he had the angels lead it in<3

Robbie and Stephen. So sorry to,hear about your loss. I have had this sick feeling in my stomach for a while now and my worst fears were confirmed by my father. I am truly devastated to the loss of Bill and owe so much to him and you. As many have said, "he saved my life"! He stuck by me the entire time while I was in the hospital and all the years there after. He was truly a great doctor, husband, father and person. I will truly miss him. Gos Bless you and your entire family.

Dear Robbie and Stephen,
The day Bill died, a void opened in our hearts. That void will remain with us till our end of days. Bill will always be helping us ease the pain of losing him so soon. He was a healer in life and continues his passion of healing even though his physical presence has moved on. I feel Bills presence around me, watching over me, trying to look out for me. Bill loved the two of you more than anything else in his life. He will always be there watching over you. If you look around and pay close attention to the signs, you too will be able to detect his presence. He was a stubborn man. He isn't going to leave you by yourselves...
Love,
Joe

Robbie and Stephen,
Mere words can not express our deepest sympathy for you both.
"Doc" touched mine and Donna's life very deeply, he truly was a gentle,kind wonderful man put on this earth to help people. Robbie as you know Doc saved my life twice, I remember laying in my hospital bed late at night, my phone rings, who is on the line, its Doc, asking me how I am feeling, if there is anything I need, I can still hear him calling me Goomba. Forever, you and Stephen will be part of our family.
To Doc,
Just want to say to you I love you and will miss you so much, I know you have your angel wings now and will be watching over us all.
My god bless you, Robbie and Stephen.

We should never measure a friendship by time but rather by quality. it took some time and healing before I could write, the short time we knew Bill had to be one of the most enjoyable times of our lives. I don't know of any 6 people that had a better time than we did. Robbie and Stephen you were given a "Special Angel" for such a short time he loved you both more than life itself. The constant love and care you gave Bill, was totally amazing, we all know he received Much more time than the medical field gave him. There is no doubt in our hearts it came from the special loving care you had for him each day. We are so blessed to have had a little part of him, I know my calamata olive bread will never taste the same or should I say will never be enjoyed the way Bill did. The Easter pizza I'm glad I waited until you returned home, to make it the picture of your face the musical notes from your mouth, buddy you just kept my family in Easter pizza for the rest of my life. Maybe I will actually go back to making it for Easter and not making them wait. Thanks my dear friend for always asking where I was and how long before I arrive all this time I thought you wanted to see me I finally figured it out, it was the food that I made that accompanied me. Thanks for singing with us you gave us a whole new look of music and we like it that way. Don't fret,my bill has taken over watching fox news and yes I know it's not really watching the news it's all about the anchor women. The fifties stories the old cars were priceless. But the best time we had was your 25th wedding anniversary the beautiful white roses you sent Robbie, the best dinner on the deck with the kids, the wedding cake we couldn't get enough of. "well yeah". I got it you, Bill Peters came into our lives with the help of Stephen and Jen which brought you and Robbie, Bill and myself together it was short lived but we had one hell of a good time. Our hearts are filled with grief our eyes are flowing with tears, however when I look at the sunrise or the sunset I imagine your face and then I hear your voice singing a Jack Scott song and I know you are right there anytime we want you to be in the rain, moon, the flowers of many colors you loved best. You taught us laughter, sharing and caring and yes we even got a lesson in grief. I knew the night we watched the fireworks with Robbie, Stephen and Jen the stars were only shining above us you send us little signs each day, and if you have anything to do with the pennies showing up we get it like you promptly told me when I asked " Bill what were you like in your younger days, you answered quickly " I was a real pisser". As a famous celebrity used to say "thanks for the Memories". As promised we have Robbie and Stephen covered. Rest well our friend and never stop watching over us. Thanks for treating Jen (Dolly" so extra special. All our continued love and support to you
Robbie and Stephen know we are always here for you.
All our love Bill & Sue (Barilla) Davis. And Dolly

Bill was a wonderful man who loved his family,friends and patients very much. It didn't matter the season or occasion, when he was surrounded by his friends and family he would always say "this is what life is all about" Robbie, Stephen all his family and friends, he loved all of you very much!
He was a very generous man. He would always be willing to offer his help and ask "do you need anything, what can I do for you"? He touched the lives of everyone he knew in one way or another. For me, besides the fact of having a wonderful brother in law, if it wasn't for him I would not have my wonderful nephew Stephen,who I love and adore very much. I would not have moved to the Scranton area where I eventually met my husband and had my daughter(who Bill always called "baby girl"). For these gifts, I will be forever grateful.
Robbie and Stephen, please know how heartbroken I am and how much I love you both. Always remember how proud he was of you, how much he loved you.
Stephen and all the Peters family, thank you for the many years together. You made my family apart of your family, always welcoming,always kind words. My sincere condolences, to all of you.
We lost a great man and friend, let us all remember the people and things he loved with fond memories and smiles.
God Bless

My Dear Robbie,
I was so sad when I read about your husband's passing. Actually in shock. I just got in touch with Renee on facebook and saw her tribute to her brother-in-law Bill and thought to myself, no it can't be, it just can't be. I can't tell you how my heart aches for you, and I'll be praying for you. I've never forgotten the best neighbors I've ever had. Take care and may God Bless You and your family.
With much love and blessings,
