PETERSON, KARL WALTHER 

Karl Walther Peterson, a resident of Patterson, passed away at his residence on 
Monday June 7, 2010, at the age of 86. 

Karl is survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Clyde and Jeannine Peterson 
of Patterson; his two nephews, Kirk Peterson of Patterson and Kevin Peterson of 
Stuart, Fla.; and two nieces, Kim Peterson and Karla Peterson, both of 
Patterson. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, Karl C. Peterson and Edith Peterson. 

Karl was an artist and very much admired by his colleagues and sought-after for 
his beautiful backdrops for the carnival season. He enjoyed traveling and 
collecting cultural artifacts. He will most be remembered for his beautiful 
paintings and unusual collections of African art. 

A memorial service will be held Thursday, June 10, 2010, at 4 p.m. at Trinity 
Episcopal Church, 302 Greenwood St. in Morgan City. The Rev. Rob Courtney will 
officiate. 

In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that donations be made to the Trinity 
Episcopal Church in his memory. He very much loved his church and its history.
