Gary Peterson

Gary R. Peterson, born November 3, 1936, lost his battle with COPD on June 10, 2020. He honorably served in the Army. He married the love of his life, Jackie Noorda, on June 30, 1961. Our dad could do anything and fix anything. He worked hard, as a sheet metal worker, to provide for our family. He kept his wit and had an unbelievable memory. He had a sense of humor, he was organized, he was always working on some project and he loved his birds. More than anything, he loved his family and appreciated all the help we gave him. Our dad could make anything out of wood and his work was perfect. He loved to bowl and made many friends there. He bowled a perfect game – a 300! About 14 years ago, he lost his wife, our mom. He missed her every single day and he talked about her often. He loved his hospice nurses, thank you for taking care of our dad. Dad, we love you so much, rest in peace. You will be greatly missed.
