Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Peder´s death last night. I am south in the winter and missed it. I knew Peder professionally. Having met quite a few attorneys through my job, Peder was one of the `good guys´...out to help the client but not necessarily trying to undercut me if we shared a case. He was a pleasant and smart guy who I´d say was someone I´d want on my side if I needed an attorney. I am so sorry his family lost him so young. I never knew his backstory until I read this exquisite obituary. My...

Lily, Aric and Latham I am just so sad and so sorry for your loss of Peder. I have only good memories of my days at State Road School...helping wonderful families like yours in those elementary years. I cherish my friendship with staff and families alike...I will be saying prayers for your family that you find strength to carry on. All my love...Tami Tooke

Lil and Family, I´m thinking of you and I´m sorry for your loss. May your memories help bring you peace.

A wonderful obituary, Lil. He has certainly travelled on to new beginnings, but will never be forgotten for all he did for La Crosse. Sending my deepest sympathy.

I met Peder through my friendship with his beloved Lil. And I smile at the honesty and straight-forwardness of Peder's obituary. Just what he would want. I served with him when he was president of of the board of our local reproductive health clinic - called Options, then Essential Health Clinic, now Planned Parenthood. His leadership was decisive and essential. I admire his overcoming some real health challenges, and commitment to family and our La Crosse community. Rest in peace, dear Peder.

Love you Peder. I´ll see ya in the other side when it´s time for me to jump in with you. Andy

Dear Lily and Family, My most sincere sympathy goes out to you now and as time goes on. Peder was a most amazing person, I always knew when I had an encounter with him, I would leave either laughing or bemused. He made one think. He and Lily were wonderful, positive presences in my son and daughter lives. A highlight of my son´s summers was being invited on a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area with Peder rounding up a group of Latham´s friends and giving them a lifetime of...

Lily & family I am so very sorry for the loss of Peter. I remember when you two met & always thought you made a great couple! My thoughts & prayers are with you Mary Rue Norman ( Julie´s sister)

He was such a good guy and very helpful to me when I needed it most. For that I will be forever grateful. I will miss him. Peace to all of you.
