I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah the 3 ^rd of 6 siblings to the parents J. Hy Petersen and Annie Mable Kagie Petersen on November 8, 1939. I am survived by one brother, Harlow Brent (Gus) Petersen. No longer with us is Karen P. Poppleton, H. Dewey Petersen, J. Gary Petersen, and Marlene P. Camden. I lived most of my childhood in Bountiful, Utah attending Stoker and West Bountiful Elementary Schools, South Davis Jr. High School, and eventually graduating from Bountiful High School in 1958. I married Karen Argyle on September 25, 1959, who grew up 2 doors away from me. We enjoyed our children: Karlee P. (Doug) Davenport, Washington City, Kelli P. (Tom) Dickerson, Salt Lake City, and Morgan Farrell Petersen, deceased, (Marina Balabeava) of Fullerton, CA. At present we have 9 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. I loved Bountiful and St. George, and played a lot of golf at Bloomington Country Club, and Oakridge Country Club. Karen and I were a team, a great team, just entrepreneurs and adventurers in the well drilling business, farm implement business, and rental and investment opportunity business. We owned and piloted nice airplanes and Karen was an excellent co-pilot. I must thank all of you for being truly good friends. Leaving this world will indeed be a new adventure, one I was not looking forward to but will accept it with grace.
