Mr. Peterson was always incredible to me. We always shook hands at every greeting. He entrusted me to keep his last motorcycles operating well. When family visits got loud, we´d head out to a garage and smoke cigarettes in absolute silence - eventually the family would find ushe truly loved his Daughters and family, and loved watching them be happy and joyful.
