Penacook, NH — Peter C. Neilsen, 51, of Penacook, NH, passed away on Saturday, January 8, 2022, at Granite VNA Hospice House in Concord following a brief illness.

Peter was welcomed into the world on April 13, 1970, by parents, Richard A. Neilsen, Sr. and Jane G. Neilsen. Pete grew up in Walpole, NH and was a graduate of Fall Mountain Regional High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Lyndon State College in Lyndonville VT.

Pete loved his dog Cosmo who was a constant companion for many years. Cosmo was a familiar passenger traveling with Pete in his Jeep Wrangler and later in his Volvo.

Neilsen, Jr. and his wife, Mellony, of Leland, NC; Jason E. Neilsen and his wife, Diane, of Marlborough, NH; Kristin M.
