I was shocked to hear of Richies passing two days ago. So many great memories of him and all of the rest of the "gang" from Lake Forest quite a few decades ago. His infectious smile and sense of humor will be missed by all that came to know him. So many great friends, some of whom are now gone. One day we will all be together again. My most sincere and deep condolences to all of the Peterson Family......Richie keep smiling and rest in peace.

My condolences go out to the whole Peterson family. I knew Mr. P for a long time. He was always good to me. It's a shame he had to leave us so soon. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to the Peterson Family for their loss. Richard was a long time friend going back to our younger days in Lake Forest. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was always there for his friends and brother Pete (Al).
Rich loved working at Rampage and the kids who knew him will always be grateful for his kindness and inspiration.
Rich was a beautiful person inside and out. I will never forget him. RIP Rich.
