Emil "Butch" Peterson

Dear Uncle Butch,

I am so sad to hear about your passing. Although too seldom throughout the years, I always enjoyed talking to you when I had the chance. You were always so genuinely interested in whatever I had to say. You had a great sense of humor, and loved to laugh. You were so kind and always had a great easygoing disposition, and were so enjoyable to be around. Again, I truly regret not having enough time spent with you, but I will always remember the nice man you were, and...

Remembering my brother Emil A. Peterson III, aka "Butch". How proud you always were to be Emil A. Peterson III, eldest son of our father, and grandson of his father. What I remember the most about you was your gentle nature, always friendly and warm... as my son Nick remembers growing up "He always talked so nice to me...", my son would say. Always the outdoorsman, you loved hunting and fishing. Although you were very independent, you were always there for me whenever I needed you. Debbie,...

My heart breaks for you, Deb. I know how much you loved him and how much you were loved by Butch.

Love you, Linda T Peterson

Butch will be missed.

Butch, I have many fond memories, the most is when I was a kid building a house and did not know what I was doing. And you came to help me along with Valadmere, Boris, our brother Tommy and Tom Furmick. It was mid December and sixty degrees outside at night. Us sitting in driveway around 55 Gallon drum with a wood fire in it, enjoying the night. Love Matt
