Raymond Petersen

Sonny, I was sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. He was one of those bigger than life kind of guys. I lost my mother earlier this year. I guess we're all getting to that age.
Your old friend, Bobbie Taylor

To Ray's Family. I am very sorry I missed his service. I worked for him for 28 good years, (NCA & Wien). I saw him once with a red neck and knew he was mad about something. Please accept my sympathy in his passing.

My sympathies to the Petersen family. I worked for Wien during the past 10 years of their operation. It was an incredible company and I have wonderful memories.

Thank you.

Sonny, Sean and Hiedi; and the rest of his Rays family; I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandfather and dad; As some of you know I cleaned his home for him over 20 years ago; He was always a joy to be around; Through the years of my visiting his nieghbor Mrs. Bentz who also recently passed ; I would always ask her how Mr. Petersen was doing and she would from time to time take me over to say hi to him. Thank-you all for sharing in your dad/grandfathers life with me. My blessings...

Sonny and Family,
I only met Ray once, but I have great respect and admiration for him as a pioneer of sport fishing in Alaska. I have enjoyed reading the history of Ray's accomplishments, and especially the history of Brooks Lodge in Rods and Wings and other publications. My condolences to Ray's family.

To Sonny, Sean & Heidi, I am sorry to hear of your Father & Grandfather's passing. Ray was a very sweet man. He always made me feel welcome when I would see him during my summer visits when I was younger. I had not seen him in years but have fond memories. My thoughts are will all the family.

My neighbor and first boss. I worked for NCA from 64-66 - what a wonderful experience & great boss. When I left the state in the later part of 1966 he called me into his office and told me why I should not leave Alaska and of all places I should not go to Illinois!
Great memories of our neighborhood!!
My condolences to you all.

It was great working for you and I have fond memories of the times at the fish camps.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Rosemarie and family.
