i am so saddened to see this….so many good memories…..condolences to family and friends
So sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. I graduated with him and would run into him at different funerals or catch up on his whereabouts with Paul Fredrikson when I went to him for dental work. It’s been a while since I saw Peter last, however, he was never forgotten. I was so sorry he was unable to attend our class reunion last August. Keeping his family in my prayers and praying memories of him will help you at this time. God’s blessings to all of you!
I am so sorry to here of Peter’s passing. I worked at the Assisted Living he lived for awhile. He was always so kind and addressed staff by their name. RIP my friend!
I for one will really miss Peter’s great sense of humor.
God Bless his memory. I for one will.
I am so sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. He was a kind and giving person. Working side by side for over 12 years was an adventure. Each different and unique in their ways. He will be missed. I regret we are out of town and will be not able to return in time to say our final good byes. Kathy and Lyle Andvik
A wonderful, kind man who was a friend to the community. He will be missed.
Deepest sympathy to Peter’s family. Our families knew Fredrikson’s quite well. My parents were Russell and Donna (Olson) Bernstein. My Mom helped out with Peter and David when they were born and the twins were ring bearers at my mom and dad’s wedding in June of 1954. And when my mom passed away in October of 1997, it was Peter that held my hand and supported me as we walked in to view her before the visitation started.
So sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. I graduated high school with him and we would visit occasionally when we ran into each other. Wish he would have been able to attend our class reunion this past summer. He will be missed.
My Grandparents Willie and Freida Miller, were friend to the Fredrikson family living in Davenport. When we went to Davenport we would play with the boys and knew the family for many years. Peter was alway so kind and caring when he was in charge of our family funerals. He had such a good memory of the Miller family and would visit about the old days at Grandma’s house. The last time i saw Peter i could tell he was having some problems. Know that Peter is now at rest with his family and in God’s hands. My sincere condolences to the family.

Peter was special for so many reasons. I personally loved his sense of humor, his kindness, his gentleness, his caring but most important to me was how he treated my mother, Doris Graff. He was always there for her and provided her with many smiles. I remember when my mother died Peter picked a song for her funeral, as he knew of her love for angels, and chose Angels among us. Peter was a blessing to our family as well as to so many others. Prayers to his family. May you find joy in your grief as you reflect on his memories.
So sorry to hear about Peter. He served us twice with my parents passing. A very nice fellow….always ready to converse.

So sorry, to hear of Peter’s passing, always enjoyed visiting with him. Such a kind man. Our prayers are with his family. Janice and Kent Lahren
Peter lived as a neighbor to us at CHI Riverview for several years. Peter was a gentle soul and soft-spoken. He attended the weekly Interfaith Christian services and the weekly Lutheran Communion services as a prayerful and devout man. He enjoyed the history of both North Dakota and his family. And Peter is renowned for his hospitality among his neighbors and friends. May Christ Jesus welcome Peter into Resurrection Glory! Fr. Duane Pribula
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Peter’s.
James, John and the Fredrikson Family
When we moved to Davenport in 1973, the Fredrikson family made us feel so welcome to the community. We have fond memories of all the family. We are sorry for the loss of your Brother but we know he is joined with the other family members that preceded him in death. May God give you Peace.
RIP Peter God has another Angel for sure. God Bless you Peter now and always and what a inspiration you were to so many. Gods Love Always Marcia Hahn Maricopa Arizona.
My sympathy to the Fredrickson family. I have known Peter since high school and kept in touch through the years. A genuine good man and he will be missed by many.
I am so sorry to hear about Peter. I was Peter and David’s babysitter for the four years we lived in Davenport. Peter has remained a dear friend since then. I also was Myrtle’s helper during that time and spent a lot of time at their home. Our deepest sympathy to the family.
Wonderful and understanding. You’ll be missed.
Peter was a loving, kind, and thoughtful man. He lived his motto. His care for both my parents in their arrangements after passing was full of grace. He is now in God’s grace.
My prayers and sympathy to the family. What a great and wonderful man Peter was. I cherish the memories created when we visited together.
My sympathies to James and John and your entire family. Peter was a good friend for many years. He was so kind and had a compassionate heart. I will miss our talks and joking around. May he now rest in peace.
We were sorry to learn of Peter’s passing. He was always so kind, and my parents (Morris & Pearl Frosaker) spoke very highly of him. They used to take our children to see the llamas and it was a highlight of their visits to Grandma & Grandpa’s farm.
Peter used to come into The Arc when I worked there. He heard I was looking for a place to build and showed me his lots in Davenport. I ended up moving a house to another lot, but always thanked him for showing me how great it would be to live in this community. He was always kind and had a smile. Great guy!
Our deepest sympathy on Peter’s passing. What a caring man. He was very sincere in his interest in everyone he came in contact with. He will be missed. Rick and Debbie Fowler

What a nice man Peter was. So kind and good memories of the farm in Davenport and such a caring friend. When my mother died he was so very kind. My sympathy.
My deepest condolences to those who loved Peter. He spent so much of his life comforting others and was so supportive to the Burkhart family during our most difficult days. Godspeed, Peter.
