Oregon News Obituary:
Gene E. Peterman died on May 6, 2007 at home with his daughters.
He was born on May 10, 1921 in Osage, Iowa.
Peterman spent his boyhood in Watertown, Wisc.
He joined the U.S. Army on Nov. 6, 1942, and was assigned to Company "C" of the 17th Armored Infantry Battalion. He spent 33 months in the European theatre of Operations as an M.P., guarding misconductees of the U.S. Army and German war prisoners. Peterman was one of seven survivors at the Normandy Beachhead in World War II. He returned to the United States on the USS Hermitage, which sailed from Marseille, France on November 22, 1945. He was discharged on December 6. 1945.
On May 15, 1948, Peterman married Gladys A Schrab in Dubuque, Iowa. They left for Oregon on their honeymoon and never looked back.

Peterman spent a lot of his time in the outdoors. He loved to travel and was an avid fisherman. At home, he loved to garden and tend to his "pet koi." He loved his beer brats, cheese and polka music. He had a tremendous lust for life and an infectious laugh that will be missed.
Peterman is survived by his daughter, Sharon Linhares and husband Dennis and Karyl Gudge and husband Nick; grandchildren, Lora, Dan, Dyanna and Jason; great-grandchildren, Tia, Riley K., Colton, Justin, Trevor, Zeta, Zoe and Xander; six sisters; and two brothers.
