We love Leon! It was amazing how he devoted so much time and effort to bringing beautiful music to the members of our ward. From arranging the magnificent talent of students and professionals to even arranging to bring high quality pianos to the events, he gave his all to elevate our spirits through breathtaking music. Thank you, Leon!

Hi Mrs. Peterson, I am sorry to hear about Mr. Peterson's passing. My husband Allen died May 2, 2020. We were living in Juneau Alaska and he was meda-vacked to Seattle for treatment for stage 4 kidney CA. I don't know if you read all your messages. If you would like to visit my phone number is 720-838-1412. I am now living in Colorado near my daughter. I will be praying for you. Colleen

Hi Karen
It’s Pat Jacobsen. I was so sad to hear about Leon’s passing. I know he has suffered for many years and is now free of his illness. My prayers are with you and your family. I dont have your address and was wondering if you could give it to me. My email is [email protected]. I still remember our dancing days!
Love you❤

Leon has been a positive influence in my life. His sense of fairness and honesty helped me form my standards when I started in construction 45 years ago. Although I haven’t seen Leon for many years his passing leaves a feeling of emptiness in me. My condolences to the family at this time of loss.

Karen - My time with Pete was very brief - the few days Katy and I spent with the two of you in Salt Lake and in the mountains near Park City. Though he had never met us, Pete made us both feel as though we were part of your family - hospitality wise and by sharing his life experiences and passions. He was a VERY impressive person and I offer my heartfelt condolences to you and all of your family.

We are grateful to have been touched by his great example for many years. He is a legend. We love how he brought the finest music into our lives in such a generous way. Karen is an angel and their kids are truly wonderful people. Leon's very finest traits are displayed in all the children, and now, grandchildren. It is an honor to know the Peterson family. We love you.

Fare Thee Well, Noble Pete — My True and Only-Ever Big Brother.
Rest assured, Precious Friend. We’ll all be along shortly.

Dear Karen and Your Resilient and Remarkable Peterson Family:

The Sig grapevine left word of Pete’s passing. My Heart profoundly aches from the knowing. Decades of Distance between us — chasing world-apart Dreams and Career Paths — never once diminished my unshakable Affection, Respect, Trust, Admiration and Love for...

Karen,
I can't imagine a world without Pete! He would spend hours just visiting with me before we ever talked business. He always made me know that he cared about me and my family and only then would he get to the purpose he intended to discuss. Then we would suddenly revert back to what always seemed most important to him. His family, my family and all of the people he loved!

So deeply sorry for your loss!
