    EPLN OBITUARIES

    William “Bill” Peter, 88, passed away peacefully on Nov. 18, 2024. He was a resident of Minneapolis and Ft. Myers Beach, Florida.

    Bill graduated from Patrick Henry High School and then served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He became a teacher, where he met the love of his life, Pam. Shortly after marrying Pam, Bill transitioned to a career as an engineer with Mereen Johnson and eventually branched out to start his own business, Progressive Systems, Inc. Bill was a popular, hands-on, highly credentialed boss who excelled at understated humility with both his employees and customers.

    He was a man of high integrity, a mentor to all, and a true man of character. During their 44 years together, Bill and Pam raised four children and shared a loving partnership until Pam passed away in 2012.

    Bill was always the life of the party and loved to entertain. He will be remembered as a fun-loving, generous, and kind-hearted man who was loved by so many. His positivity was contagious.

    Eight years ago, Bill hosted a milestone celebration for his 80th birthday, welcoming more than 100 family members, friends, and employees. It was a joyous gathering, celebrating a life well lived and attended by everyone who mattered most to him.

    In our final tribute to Bill, his family invites you to go out to lunch, watch a sunset, or raise a glass in honor of an amazing man and the legacy he leaves behind.

    Arrangements are with Rowe Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. To sign the online guestbook or view his obituary, visit Rowe Funeral Home.
