Harold Peterson was born on June 14, 1940, in Comfrey, Minnesota, the son of Leslie and Ida (Seigman) Peterson. He grew up around Comfrey and Springfield and helped the family with farm work. In August of 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 TV, and teasing the Minnesota fans by cheering for the Texas 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.

Harold is survived by his sister, Arlene of Mankato; a brother, Raymond (Kathy) Peterson of Butterfield; and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents.
