Gary Patrick Peterson was born on March 23, 1943 to Leo and Delores (Stadick) Peterson in New Ulm. He attended Holy Trinity Schools. Shortly after, Gary married the love of his life, Judy Hauer, on February 20, 1965 at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. The couple shared over 53 wonderful years together and was blessed with two children. Gary worked at a variety of places over his career, starting at Gopher Concrete. He then went to North Star Concrete, Skyline, and finally J&R Schugel where he retired after 37 years of service. Gary was a member of the Flying Dutchmen Motorcycle Club and Hockey Association Board. He was an avid fan of hockey, baseball, pool, and cards. What Gary enjoyed most in life was spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and friends. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Gary will truly be missed by all who knew him. Blessed be his memory.
