The entire Osher community mourns the loss of Director emeritus, Jim Peters. Jim was an active volunteer, instructor and mentor after his retirement in 2019. He inspired many and encouraged those he met to celebrate life. He shared generously of his time and talent and was a passionate lifelong learner. His laugh lifted spirits and this loss will be felt forever. Rest in peace our beloved Jim.
