Obituary For Robert D. (Pete) Peterson

Robert D. (Pete) Peterson, 76, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on February 5, 2009 following an extended illness. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends at Valley Hospice Care in Steubenville, Ohio.  He was born on December 4, 1932 in Pennsylvania. Bob’s life was filled with love and compassion and many were touched by it.  Bob was an avid Steelers fan and he was the owner of Petersons Carpet in Wintersville, Ohio for 37 years.  He was preceded in death by his parents George and Charlotte Peterson and brother Bill.  He is survived by his beautiful bride Mary Lou whom he married on October 17, 1951.  They lived an amazing life together for 57 years loving and raising their 6 children and great grand daughter Amber.   He also is survived by his sister Florence Bair of Pennsylvania. Bob was a devoted Father to his 4 sons, Jeffrey Peterson of Amsterdam, Michael (Lisa) Peterson of Bloomingdale, Douglas (Boni) Peterson of Amsterdam, Terry Peterson of Steubenville, and daughters Susan Peterson Orban of Wintersville and Robin Peterson Travis of Steubenville, daughter-in-law Cathy Peterson of Steubenville.  He was the loving and caring grandfather to 6 grandchildren; Daniel Travis, Jessie Travis, Todd Peterson, Jamie Jenkins, Tara (Jeremy) Smith and Brandi (Blair) Schroyer.  He also has 8 amazing great grandchildren; Amber, Gage, Noah, Ryley, Madison, Drew, Hunter and Trent.

    Please accept our deepest sympathy at the loss of you father. When you were working with us this past summer, we remembered that you were all concerned about his health and well-being. You all should be proud for the way he trained you to be good professional people and carry on the reputation it took him so many years to produce. Remember, he is in a much better place now. Take care and we will keep all of you in our prayers. Jack and Carolyn Kibble

    I want to take this time to thank my brother-in-law Bob, for giving my sister of 57 years, the life she had. She was his Queen and he was her King. They served their subjects well. We as family were always welcome at the farm for extended stays. We also had the privlage of traveling to Cancun as a group with them on vacation. What fun...Something we will cherish always, and hold dear to our hearts. Sleep well Loved One, we will miss you sooo.....May God shine his grace on his family, and give peace to them all. We grieve with you all. love Danny and Dorrine
