Eulogy of Kurt Petersen
Kurt Edlef Petersen passed away peacefully at the age of 94 at Ian Anderson House in Oakville. Born in Denmark, Kurt moved to Canada with his family at the age of 19 and settled in Oakville for the remainder of his wonderful life.
Kurt will be lovingly remembered by his children, Glenn (Dale), Linda, Steven (Tyrina), Paul (Kelli), grandchildren & great grandchildren. Survived by his loving partner Barbra Browne & her children, Sean (Maggie), Stephanie (Mario), Jennifer (Ugo), Kevin (Christy), grandchildren & great grandchildren.
May we not forget his love of “Bella” and their daily walks throughout Bronte.
Throughout his life, Kurt was known for his kindness, generosity, strong work ethic & love of entertaining. Some of his happiest moments were spent travelling, hiking, skiing & racquet sports. Oakville has lost a wonderful contributor to our community.
At 94, Kurt leaves behind a remarkable legacy spanning generations. His life will continue to be celebrated through the many memories, traditions, and stories shared by those who knew and loved him.
The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to his many caregivers, especially Lee, George & Sean for the kindness and compassionate care shown to Kurt.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Kurt’s memory may be made to Ian Anderson House (Hospice) or Patty’s Place (Dementia Care Centre).
