Words can never express how truly blessed our family has been to have your dad in our lives.  I am honored my dad and your dad were best friends for over 70 years.  They're flying their planes and watching over us.

With much love to your family

After all these years, you still make me smile!  What a good man, great father, and even better story teller!  You were such a good support system for me!  I will never forget you.

What a life Dr. Peterson had. He was a huge influence on my Dad, Dr. Tim Ross. They were truly lifelong friends. Your father was a modern Renaissance man with all of his interests. I'm glad he got the opportunity to spread that joy to so many people. He served his country, his community, and his family. God bless him and your family

WOW! Where do I start? Your father was a wonderful boss. When my husband & I moved here in 1989 I went looking for a dental asst. job & I got hired temp. while one of the asst. went for surgery well he kept me on until he retired & then I still worked there when Dr. Canada bought practice probably around 18 yrs. Your parents truly made me feel like family & not employee. I lived in Woodlake & he would always say you can spend the night if it's to foggy to go home. Remember the staff breakfast meetings & going out to picnic sandwich shop. Will never forget this quote he would tell the children: Teeth are mighty nice to have they feel you with content & if you do not know's it now you know's when they have went. LOL! I also remember the day that he said he would take us to our CE Units course so we thought he would be driving us & then to our horror he drives us to the Visalia Airport & has us help him pull out his plane he is going to fly us to Fresno. I thought I was going to die because we had all driven with him. Well to our amazement he was a wonderful pilot. I could probably write a book. Thank you for sharing your Wonderful father with Mark & I. He will be missed so much by us. Is all I can say is I was so blessed to have known both your parents. I Love Love them. Love Mark & Martha P.S. Mark got the privilege of being able to do some home repairs for them &  also take your Dad's gun course. We feel blessed.

Oh my goodness, everyone!!!  THANK YOU for such kind and loving words!  It means so much to me ~ I miss Dad so much!  Love, Marilyn

In 1973 I started my dental practice with Larry Winn on West main. In a few months Jock moved his practice next door and we were soon good friends and colleagues. I have never forgotten and often quote a piece of advice Jock gave my while chatting in the parking lot outside of our offices."Chuck it is good to ask others for advice just remember you don't have to take it."

What an amazing individual! I was Dr Peterson's patient until I could not go anymore at 21. I will remember him always.

He was truly amazing and was such a wonderful mentor to all who spent time with him.  The partnership of Peterson & Ross will never be forgotten in the flying and shooting communities of Tulare County. His legacy will shine on.
Thank you for all the great times and memories~
