Michael Vito Goyden lit a candle

“In loving memory of Thomas L. Peterson, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Tom was like a brother to me as I could always talk about anything over the years. I will miss our talks and laughs together. Mike and Jan Goyden”

Paul Kent wrote a sympathy message

“Pete (as his USAFA squadron mates called him) was highly respected for who he was. As my 3-year squadron mate and one time roommate at the Academy, he was considered by all as a good good man. Quiet and polite. I never heard a soul say a bad word about him. He will certainly pass from his earthly life to his eternal one with ease. If I can finish my time on earth with only a fraction of his moral and ethical character, God willing, I hope to see him again.”
