Dear Marge & Family,
We just learned the sad news of Pete's passing and are heartbroken.  We had the honor and pleasure of working with Pete at Glass & Associates.  What a brilliant, wonderful, special man he was.  The world is a little darker without him.

Kelsie just told me about the service.  I just watched the video. There are so many pictures that brought back all kinds of memories. I remember going to a picnic and holding little baby Krista. I always loved being with your family. It was fun hearing the funny stories that we all have. Dietrich used to laugh with Peter about their life together with parents, children stories, and stories of their own children.  It was always good times laughing around the breakfast table and then again around the dinner table.  I miss those gatherings and always will.

Heidi,

I am so, so sorry. It is such a hard thing to go through. My prayers are with you, your mother, and the rest of your family. It does get easier. Know that he is at peace and is still watching over you all.

-Rick Mead

Pete was a man of great faith and integrity.  Proud to call him a friend.  Rest in peace, our paths may meet again.

Wishing comfort for Marj and the family.


I was greatly saddened to hear of Pete's passing.   I remember working with his son Eric many summers ago while Pete led the company.  I always admired his leadership and want his family to know of my family's never-ending gratitude for the friendship,  both personal and professional, to our family and our father, Lou Artale through the years.  Our sympathy and condolences go out to the entire Peterson Family, and especially on behalf of my father.  You all are in our prayers. 

Have known Pete for over 50 years and he will be missed.

I just loved Pete. He was such a huge impact on Chandler Presbyterian Church and a big reason why we are still operating. I learned so much from him as we sat on Session together for many years. I miss him everyday. He was a key person in my faith journey and I will never forget him and his smile. His family and all of us were so blessed to have such a faithful person in our lives. Such a beautiful role model for his children and grandchildren. Margie, my prayers are with all of you as you mourn. Blessings to you!

Pete was one of the nicest men I know. He was always pleasant and I appreciated his help when I was on session. He made things so simple for me.  He loved his family. I will pray for you and your family as you mourn his loss

A truly beautiful soul resides in heaven.   Pete was a shining example of grace and faith.  Condolences to all his family.

Pete, Margie and my family attended Chandler Presbyterian church together for years and several years ago, Pete called to remind me that our pledge hadn't been received yet. I told him that I knew we hadn't sent it in but my husband had just lost his job.  Pete was lovingly understanding and said he would pray for us.  That week, he handed me a Christmas card and in it was a check for a large amount of money.  He didn't want Joey and Steven to not have a Christmas!  Pete will always have a special place in my heart!
