Greg Petersen Obituary
December 5, 1958 - October 29, 2020
Greg, age 61, died at Lakeside Hospital. He was born in Texas to Lloyd and Geraldine Petersen, and moved with his family to Omaha when he was a baby. He proudly served in the US Army and Army National Guard for 20 years. He worked in IT for most of his life, and then as a custodian at Abbott Elementary. Greg was an active and proud lifetime member of Millard Legion Post #374. He enjoyed riding motorcycles, playing cribbage, cooking, and fixing things at his home and the Post. Survivors include his wife, Lisa; children, Alex and Sara; brothers, Steve (Carol) and Brad; sisters, Kathy and Jeri; other relatives; and many friends. Greg was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Eric "Whizz"; sister-in-law, Elaine; and niece Nicki.
A CELEBRATION of LIFE will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials should be directed to the family.

Dear Lisa and Family -
We met you in Seattle last July at Kieley and Matt´s wedding; Karla is one of our coworkers.
We were very saddened to hear about Greg`s passing; he was obviously well loved man in so many different venues. I remember his quiet but keen sense of humor. All of the prayers of Karla´s work family are with you in the coming months; please accept our deepest condolences.
