Harold Peterson

Harold J. “Pete” Peterson, age 96, was “promoted” on July 23, 2009 to be with the Lord and hold hands again with his loving wife Ollie and only daughter, Leanne. Pete was born on August 23 in Vancouver, British Columbia to Charles & Maria Peterson. He worked for over 40 years for Hartford Fire Insurance Co. Pete was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. He was an active member of Elim Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois, Horizons Community Church in Peoria, Arizona, and the Bethany Beach Tabernacle/Association in Sawyer, Michigan. He began a Boy Scout group at Elim, was a Sunday School Superintendent for many years and a former President of the Bethany Beach Association.

Pete is best known for his tireless energy, creative “fix it” remedies, and love for golf, tennis, oil painting and taking photos. His best memories were of his trips to Sweden when he was ages 16 and 91.

Pete is survived by two sons, Robert and Donald, daughter-in-laws, Judith and Barbara, son-in-law Ed Converse, 6 grandchildren, Rob, Polly, Amy, Jonathan, Mandee and Tobin and 12 great grandchildren, Lauren, Micah, Nichole, Andrew, Tyler, Adam, Alyssa, Lucien, Adele, Olivia, Alma and Jessica. He will be greatly missed by family and friends. A private memorial and celebration of his life will be held at the Tabernacle in Bethany Beach in Sawyer, Michigan. His final resting place will be at Oak Hill Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois.
