Michael Kay Petersen

Mike was a good vendor, but more importantly a great friend. Everyone that crossed his path felt the shine from his big smile. We at Nickelodeon often forgot he was a salesman because we were blinded by his sunny dispostion. I have never had the pleasure of dealing with such a fine, caring, man, that brought so much to the table every time he arrived; and I doubt I ever will. Perhaps no one in Hollywood will ever be as liked as Mike. A true gentleman and an awesome human being. Thanks for...

My heart aches for the Petersen Family and all of us that knew Mike. Mike was an intelligent and gentle soul with a gift for athletics. We played baseball together at Claremont High School and met up again at Cal Poly, Pomona. It's proven once again that the best of us leave the earth too soon.

The comfort of having a friend my be taken away, but not that of having had one.

God bless your family.

Stephen and family, You all are in our thoughts and prayers, as you go through this tough time. Just wish we could be there for you all, anything we can do let us know!!

a twinkle in your eyes, a smile on your face, and laughter. this is what i remember. peace be with you.

Mike, thank you for coming to the CHS 76' 30 year reunion. It was nice to see my former teammate, classmate and friend. Little did I know it would be our last handshake. You did good buddy in everything you touched. And as for fastballs they say mine was fast but listen everyone, when Mike threw one, it sizzled. R.I.P. You did good.
