Paul David Peterson

Paul was born to the late Carl & Bertina Peterson, March 19, 1937 in Quincy, MA. Paul was a Quincy Vocational Graduate and served in the Coast Guard before marrying the love of his life, Elaine Peterson in 1959, and they lived in Quincy before relocating to Cape Cod.

Paul was a construction supervisor involved in Stop & Shops and the Cape Cod Mall, but his dream was to own the campground they spent summers at. In 1988 he made that dream come true and bought Campers Haven in Dennisport, providing over 300 families with fun filled summer memories until he sold in 2006.

Paul and his wife enjoyed boating, traveling in their RV, wintering in FL, and visiting Disney World whenever possible. He served on many boards and was the founder of the Dennis Sr. Annual Picnic.

Paul is survived by his wife Elaine Peterson, two daughters; Laurel Peterson of Osterville, Ma; Paula Daley of Yarmouth, MA. He is also survived by three grandchildren: Jonathan Carroll of Yarmouth, MA, Matthew Carroll of Portland, ME and Nicholas Westphal of Barnstable, MA and one great-grandchild.

In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to Friends of Dennis Seniors Citizens, Inc. P.O. Box 287 S. Dennis, MA 02660.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
