Thomas E. Peterson

This is Vern Peterson's son? Oh my goodness! Prayers & condolences to the family. Always admired Vern & Tom's top-flight craftsmanship & steady professionalism over many decades. Jeanmarie Starshak (Lewis-McGoorty clan, Scenic & Michillinda area).

Tom was a good friend, a great carpenter, and a loving son. He had fun stories about his dad (between Vern and Tom they renovated and rebuilt most of our cottage), his work, and his many friends. I will miss him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I always enjoyed visiting with Tom over the years while he worked on various homes in my Association. I will never forget his chuckle.

Tom and his family were long time friends of the Staley extended family, starting with my Mother and Father, Kay and Wayne Staley. Tom and his father, Vern built or remodeled all three of the homes on White Lake that various members of the family occupy, including my sister, Joyce and her extended family. My deceased wife, Liz in particular so enjoyed working with Tom and Vern. Tom's sister, Jeanne also has been a great help to us. Tom was friendly, so capable and honest, that one was...

We will miss Tom. He was always available to help at a moments notice. He was calm and friendly and patient - allowing our young kids to watch him do repairs. We are honored to have known and worked with Tom.

Tom will be greatly missed by the Staley family. He was a trusted jack of all trades who built and maintained beautiful, comfortable homes in which families loved to gather over multiple generations.
