Bruce F. Peterson, a longtime resident of Croton-on-Hudson, passed away 12/16/2022. He was 84. Bruce was born on May 19, 1938 in Valhalla, NY to the late Frank and Ruth (Erickson) Peterson. He worked for many years as a painter for the Local Union #155 in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Bruce had an ability to make friends wherever he went and could often be found at his second home, Bagels on Hudson, sharing stories about the past times, people, and things he loved most. He loved spending summers camping in his RV with his wife, growing vegetables in his garden, going drag racing with his son and daughter in law and just driving around town visiting friends and family. However, his favorite thing to do was spending time with his beloved grandchildren.
He is survived by his wife, the former Carmella Ciullo; his children Bruce F. Peterson, Jr. (Paula) , Kimberly Peterson (Brian), and Debbie Liaskos (Evan); his grandchildren Alexis and Evan Joseph “EJ” Liaskos; his sister Barbara Caverly and brother-in-law Ronald Seaboltd. Also survived by several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his brother Ralph and Vera Peterson and his sister Madeline Seaboltd.
