William John Peterson

William J. Peterson of Denver, Co died Sunday, May 3 2009 at Porter Hospital in Denver after a battle with cancer.

He was born in Lovington, Iowa, the son of William Frank and Irma I. Peterson. He married Barbara Wagner in Des Moines, Iowa on November 3, 1957.

In his last years, he worked as a "handyman" for anyone who needed his help with electrical problems and household tasks.

Bill was an avid hunter of both large and small game and he anxiously awaited fishing season each year. He enjoyed country music and building things with his grandson.
