Not sure what to say?

Ken was my mentor during my career with the IRS. His guidance and knowledge helped me develop the same type of work ethics that he believed in. A very fine man that I looked up to. He will be missed.

Everything in what I read of Ken’s obituary in the paper was true about Ken Peterson. He was a true gentleman, a true friend, a man with principles, joy, love for his family and friends, and had an appreciation a good and fulfilling life. I was privileged as I was also a biker friend of Ken’s and got to spend six weeks biking across the United States from coast to coast with him and his friend Jerry. I got to know Ken well and was honored to be his friend along the way. I will always...

We met Ken and Elaine through square dancing. Bill spent many years cycling with Ken on local rides and multiple days bike tours, We have fond memories of our time with Ken and Elaine

It was my honor to be one of Ken's friends. He was an inspiration on our bicycling adventures. Literally, we rode our road bikes to Hell and back. I also was fortunate to share coffee with him at local Clarkston restaurants. He will be truly missed.

Mrs. Peterson, Kaari, Erik & Family,
The entire Campagna Family send you our deepest sympathy during this time. I have very fond memories of Ken over the years being a Friend of your Family. He is a big reason my lifetime love of cycling with a “coffee” break continues. It is my hope that Erik shares the Firecracker 100 - 4th of July ride we did and Ken disappearing into the cornfield. Great times . and an even better Dad & Man that will be missed, but will always bring a smile to...

Ken was Brian's cousin & I, his wife, graduated with his sister, Sharon. Ken visited us several years ago, when his grandson graduated from MTU in Houghton, Mi. He was a loving family man, with great pride with his family. He was one of a kind, a regular man, trustworthy & deep-rooted. He will be sorely missed by family & friends. RIP, Ken!

Ken was one of my favorite residents at monark I served him and Elaine daily and he was always so happy to see me and the other servers. He always made my day better he always was so cheerful. He was truly a kind soul.

I met Ken & Elaine 20+ years ago at Calvary. I loved to see these two sweethearts every Sunday. Ken always welcomed me with a hug and a little conversation. I loved hearing about his cycling adventures. Healthy and active well into his 80's. This gentle man will be truly missed. Prayers for Elaine and family.

Elaine, Carl and I are so sorry to hear of Kens passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We enjoyed our time getting to know the two of you better at square dancing.
