Carl Peters Obituary
KENDALLVILLE - Carl Ronald Peters, 88, of Kendallville, Indiana, died on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025, at his residence.
He was born on Sept. 10, 1936, in Kendallville, Indiana, to Clarence and Mable (Crouse) Peters.
On June 26, 1965, in Kendallville, he married Janet Kay Svoboda.
He retired from management with Lyall Electric, working at their plants in South Milford and Albion. He then started CR Construction, flipping homes and did painting with Jim Gehring. He also built fences with Hal Barker.
