Joseph Anthony Peters passed away peacefully July 14, 2023, with family, at his residence.

Memorial and service will be at a later date.

Joseph was born in Auburndale January 17, 1937, to Mathias and Mary (Bohman) Peters.

Joseph attended Aunurndale school. Joseph grew up on the family farm and took a job with Hughes Service in Marshfield until his entry into the Army from December 1959 to February 1962.

Joseph served during the Cuban Crisis. Joseph was a vehicle mechanic, in the 2D Howitzer Battalion 8th Artillery APO 7. Joseph was a carbine sharpshooter and received a good conduct medal. Following his honorable discharge from the Army Joseph purchased a home and started his own business, Joe's Welding and Repair.

Joe married his life partner Bonnie Lou Hahn in Stratford Wisconsin, on January 11, 1964, and enjoyed 53 years of marriage before Bonnie's passing in 2018.

Joseph, as the owner of his business worked the trade he loved and knew very well. Joseph had a loyal following of customers and friends that would often stop by to chat or drop off a vehicle they no longer had use for.

Josheph had many good friends and an abundance of stories to tell about fishing and hunting trips which usually led somehow to a story about a vehicle or an engine.

Joe taught his daughters Cheryl and Sue at a very young age to fish which they still enjoy today. Many family weekends were spent on Solberg Lake in Phillips and later Soo Lake in Phillips.

Lovingly surviving Joe are his daughters, Cheryl (Peters) Pelzek, and Sue (Peters) Dietsche; grandsons, Matthew Pelzek, Marcus Pelzek, and Dustin Dietsche; brothers, Ronald Peters and Bernard (Janice)Peters; sister, Ruth (Dennis)Cook.

Preceding Joe in death were his wife, parents, mother-in-law, Pauline (Hahn) Pember; brother, George; brothers-in-law, Raymond Hahn, Jerry Hahn, Raymond Fink, and Leroy Thieme; sisters-in-law, Leona (Hahn) Perlock, Bernice (Hahn) Fink, and Shirley (Hahn) Thieme.

Special thank you to Kerry Dietsche for honoring a request to always take care of, and look out for Joe.
