Robert Eugene Peters


When I moved next door to Bob and Elaine in 2010 they were the first to welcome me to the neighborhood. Bob was always quick to share a story or pleasantly pass the time of day. He was friendly, humorous and down-to-earth. My sympathy to all of his loved ones.

Tom and family Lori and I will miss seeing Bob at Newcomb. We will miss his smile and his contribution as our financial secretary. He was a great man and we enjoyed talking to him. We look forward to seeing you again and please accept our deepest sympathies at this difficult time.

To Bob Peters' Family, From Mary Gruhl, Ridgecrest Village Bob was one of my very best friends at Ridgecrest. We met many years ago when he was on the Vietamese committee at Newcomb and I was on ours at First Pres. We met again when we were on a jury pool for three months. Off and on, we would meet at Bartlett's.Then again here at Ridgecrest. He became a wonderful pal and I will miss him. My sympathies are with Elaine and with all the family. Mary Gruhl

Elaine and family, Judy and I are so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. We will always be grateful for your friendship to our parents and the care you showed Dad after Mom died. You truly are great people.

I was so sorry to see the obituary in the paper yesterday. We wanted to let you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. I haven't seen much of you since your retirement (which I hope is a good thing meaning you've been busy doing things you enjoy doing!), so it was nice to run into you and Bob at the mall ...was that last year??? Wow! Time really does fly. Just to let you know we are thinking of you and the family in this difficult time. Linda and Jim

I wanted to extend my sympathy to Bob Peter's family. MY name is Diane Martin Ballard. My mother, Mildred Peters Martin and your father were cousins. My mother passed away on Dec. 17, 2012 and your dad drove to Moline on a cold icy Friday night to come to her visitation. I had met him several times and I had a lengthy conversation to let him know of her death. My mother had dementia and was also in memory care. He was so kind and consoling. He spoke lovingly of his children and with great concern about your mother. He was a sweet caring man and know he is with his Savior and in a better place without suffering. I know you have wonderful memories of him and that will comfort you in the coming days. With sympathy, Diane Ballard

Sorry to hear about your dad. I always thought he was a great guy. Except the time I was crawling through a corn field to realize I was stalking geese decoys. Turned around and Bob and Tom were getting a good laugh.
