Stephen Peterson Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud member of IBEW Local 223 and the May Flower Lodge, Steve built a long and respected career as an electrician and electrical inspector for several local towns. His strong work ethic, combined with a deep sense of community, earned him the admiration of many.
Steve was married to Linda Peterson for 25 years, and together they raised a loving family. He is survived by his children: Jonathan Peterson; Christopher Peterson and his wife, Alyson; Matthew Peterson and his wife, Lisa; Kenneth Tubman and his wife, Carolyn; Kimberly Ryan and her husband, Joseph; and Amy Grzybowski and her husband, Michael. He is also survived by 14 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Steve was predeceased by his brother, Alan Peterson, and leaves behind his siblings William Peterson, Juliana McGovern, Virginia Delaney, Joan Clark, and Ellen Curran.
Steve had a deep love for travel and treasured every moment spent with his family, especially his grandchildren. His quick humor, big heart, and captivating stories made him the life of every gathering. Whether telling a tale, fixing a light, or simply sharing a laugh, Steve made everyone around him feel seen and valued.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

My condolences to the Peterson family sad to know the passing of Brother Peterson. He could light up any room with his mere presence never mind when he begun to speak. What a gentleman always . Rest in peace Brother. Ernest Correia Retired IBEW Local 223.

I knew Steve as a young boy who lived across
the street from us and he was a great kid.
My sister and I were long time friends of
Julie and Ginny and the rest of the Peterson
family.
I´m sorry to hear of his passing and my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Sincerely, Marsha Shapiro Carpenter
