Gordon Sidney Peterson Obituary (1946

On Saturday, December 17, 2016, heaven received one of the best husbands, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, HERO and friend, Gordon Sidney Peterson. Gordon was born August 25, 1946 to Melvin S. and Deon Holman Peterson. He was raised in Springville and attended Springville schools. Gordon proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam Era. After living in Hawaii for a number of years, we returned to raise our family and have resided in Orem. Gordon knew the value of hard work, and anyone who knew him knows how he felt about the importance of doing a good job. He did drywall construction for over 45 years until his health declined.
