Walter Gordon Peterson

To Walter's family, My name is Gingie Wilson and I had the pleasure of having Walter assigned to me as my first Hospice Pet Therapy patient. I visited Walter with my dog Zeek at lease twice a week. Zeek was ready to get right up on the bed( which I can't let him do). Walter did laugh when Zeek licked his face and pawed at his hands. I would talk to Walter about my family and once I was telling him that my son and daughter-in-law were expecting a baby and he said, "Oh, that's nice." I was shocked and wondered if I heard right. I was told that patients come out with appropriate comments once in a while. The last few weeks I read some things about planes and news about the EAA coming to Oshkosh. ""Good timing Walter."" I am sure your father was a fine man and your family can celebrate his active life. Sincerely, Gingie Wilson Hospice, Waupaca ,Wisconsin

Sue & Tom, Doug & Evelyn, I have fond memories of your dad/Uncle Walt. He had a great smile and laugh! Thinking of you all and remembering the Madison visits! (I'm much better at watching Indiana Jones nowadays!) Love to you all! Kathy Childs (Steve Peterson's daughter #2)

Walter was a cousin to my mother. He kept the family connection between Norway, Minnesota and Wisconsin alive. He graciously welcomed and included everyone. Walter was so upbeat and enjoyed life. It was infectious. He is missed. I am glad he is now at peace. My sympathy to my cousins. God bless. Nancy Larson, St. Paul, MN

Sue and Tom: We never knew your dad but he came alive for us with the stories you told of him. While we are very sorry for your loss, I'm glad that your faith and his, will take him kindly to his next journey. Sending love to you both! ❤️ Debbie & Bill Schrank
