Niels Petersen of Stony Plain, formerly from Rich Valley, passed away on October 9, 2012 at the age of 81 years. He is survived by Marlene, his wife of 54 years, his children Karen (Buddy) and Dale (Denise), five grandchildren, Cody, Cheryl, Kayleen, Dusty and Chelsey, and one great-grandchild Corbin. Also surviving Niels are his siblings, Soren, Gudrun (Percy), Yrsa and Butch (Darlene) and also by many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his son Vance, granddaughter Janina and brother Jens.
His most important role was being a husband, dad and grandpa. He was a devoted family man and treasured family gatherings. Niels was a pioneer in the fireproofing industry and started his own company, Karavan Industries, in 1975. He stayed working in this field to the age of 76. He courageously battled Asbestosis for many years.
The family would like to thank the Stony Plain Hospital and all its staff and also the Westview Care Center for the exceptional care they gave to Niels. You made his last few weeks very enjoyable. A very special thank you to Moe Daniels for being more than his Respiratory Therapist.
As per Niels's request there will be no service. A private family fathering is being held. Donations gratefully accepted to S.T.A.R.S.
