January 25, 1946 ~ October 11, 2020
Daniel Richard Peterson was born on January 26, 1946, to Richard and Kathleen (Compton) Peterson in Fremont, Nebraska. He lived in Fremont until the age of 10 and then the family moved to Harlan. Dan was active in high school competing in basketball, wrestling, track and cross country, but he said his favorite was wrestling. He graduated in 1965 and followed in his dad’s footsteps and worked at Peterson Auto Supply. Dan married Connie Jo Jenkins on August 9, 1969. After Dan’s dad sold the store, Dan decided to become a cook at the Villager. After a couple of years, Dan became the cook at Rose Vista for five years. He then cooked at the Iowa Feed and Grain for two years. Connie died on September 4, 2001. Shortly after that, Dan’s health started to decline. He was living in Woodlands, but he needed more care and Rose Vista became his home.
