Albert Peterson Obituary

Albert Peterson

Urbandale

Family, friends and co-workers: On behalf of Al's 2nd family, we would like to share with you that Al lost his fight 12/18/15. He fought courageously for 4 months. It will never be the same without him. But he is in a better place now.

Al's wishes were to be cremated and his ashes released in his favorite places. He asked for no services. He wants no tears, just happy memories.

We will be lost without you and we will love you forever.

Vicki; Scott; Tiff; Maddy; Macy; Travis; Lani; Nathan; Mark; Betty; Christina; Scooter, Pistol, Peanut (his buddies).

Al and Vicki were together for 14 years. Al was Vicki's longtime love and hero.

"Gary" indebted to you always. Thank you!
