Dr. Peter Soteres
Peter Spiros Soteres, M.D., of Signal Mountain, passed on to Heaven on Friday, April 13, 2007.
He was born in Dothan, Ala., on July 22, 1939, and was the son of the late Fahimy Sapp and Spiros Peter Soteres.
After attending high school in Dothan, Dr.
Soteres attended the University of Alabama, where he was initiated into Kappa Sigma Fraternity as well as ODK and Phi Eta Sigma. He graduated from the University of Alabama College of Medicine and trained at Southwestern Medical School, Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas. He served in the USAF as a medical officer at Offutt AFB in Nebraska.
He completed his training in pulmonary medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical College and at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. Dr. Soteres became the first board certified pulmonologist in Chattanooga when he came here to practice in 1972. He was a member of many professional organizations and was a past president of the Chattanooga Hamilton County Medical Society. He was Volunteer of the Year for the Tennessee Lung Association and an active member of Tennessee Medical Association. When his sons were young, he was active in Dixie Youth League Baseball as a coach and as an officer. He was a member of First-Centenary United Methodist Church and the Morgan Sunday School Class.
Following a brief retirement from his medical practice, Dr. Soteres joined Hospice of Chattanooga, where he was a constant support and strong influence for patients, their families and for the staff. Dr. Soteres was a respected and beloved doctor in Chattanooga for more than 30 years. In that time he treated thousands of patients and was known for his medical expertise, his warm bedside manner and his attentiveness to those under his care. Beyond his professional excellence, he treated everyone around him — patients, their families, nurses, doctors and other hospital staff — with respect and compassion, and in doing so touched countless lives and made this world a better place for us all.
He is survived by loving wife, Nancy, of Signal Mountain; three sons, Peter Kipling (Desiree Earl) Soteres, of Signal Mountain, Dr. Daniel Fletcher (Dr. Allison Sabel) Soteres, of Castle Rock, Colo., and W. Ryan (Jeanine Pistocco) Soteres, of Scottsdale, Ariz.; two grandchildren, Zoe Ariadne Soteres and Daniel Fletcher Soteres II; two brothers, Dr. James S. (Nancy Crawford) Soteres, of Atlanta, and Dr. John K. (Anita Zinna) Soteres, of St. Louis, Mo.; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends.
