Harold Peterson was born on June 14, 1940, in Comfrey, the son of Leslie and Ida (Seigman) Peterson. He grew up around Comfrey and Springfield and helped the family with farm work.
In August 1997, Harold moved to New Ulm and worked part time for Holm Industries. He enjoyed listening to music, preferably Rap; watching football and baseball on television and teasing the Minnesota fans by cheering for the Texas football teams – Cowboys and Texans.
Harold tried to be a friend to everyone he would meet, had a great sense of humor, could take a joke – and give two back. He will be greatly missed.
He is survived by a sister, Arlene of Mankato, Minnesota; a brother, Raymond (Kathy) Peterson of Butterfield, Minnesota and nieces and nephews.
Harold was preceded in death by his parents.
