We are sorry to report the recent passing of Richard Peterson BHS '64. Richard was born on April 25, 1946 and passed away on July 29, 2021 in Henderson, Nevada, after battling several lengthy illnesses.
Richard grew up in Burbank, California. He played Football for Burbank High School and was a quarterback. Richard was also a United States Air Force Veteran.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Peterson and survived by his brother, John Peterson BHS '65 and sister-in-law, Marilyn Williams Peterson BHS '67, nieces and nephews.
Richard was one of the "Keystone Street Kids" and grew up with my husband, Jon Kirkwood. Jon has so many fun memories of childhood adventures that he shared with Richard. From playing baseball in the street to hiking the Verdugo Mountains just above where they lived. During their high school years and after, Richard and Jon worked together at Shopping Bag Market. Jon remembers that Richard was a good Big Brother to his younger brother, John. He always looked out for John.
Bon Voyage, Richard...You will be missed.
Pam Zipfel Kirkwood BHS '64 and Jon Kirkwood BHS '64
