Stephen Peterson Obituary
Born and raised in Manchester, Stephen was the son of the late James and Margaret (Keaveney) Peterson. He was a graduate of Manchester Memorial High School and had been employed for many years as a tractor trailer driver, most recently for Yellow Roadway Corp. He was a member of the Teamsters Local #633.
Stephen loved home and family, especially enjoying all family gatherings, barbecuing, and showing off his muscle cars and motorcycles. He was an avid fan of sports, golfing, target practicing and watching his favorite teams on television.
Steve is survived by his wife of 29 years, Suzanne (Jones) Peterson of Pembroke; his son, Mark Peterson of Pembroke; a brother, David Peterson of Boscawen; and nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his other five brothers, John I, James Jr., John II, Robert, and Lawrence.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated Saturday, Oct. 3, at 11:30 a.m. at St. John the Baptist Church in Allenstown.
Burial will take place at a later date in St. Joseph Cemetery in Bedford.

My deepest sympathy to the Peterson family. Back in the 1950's Stephen and I were close friends when he lived on Taylor Street. We spent many hours swimming and playing together in the Sweeney's pool. I have such fond memories of our fun times together. I will keep him and your family in my prayers. Helen
