When my family lived in the Dominican Republic, Einar Peterson "Uncle Einar" was a adoptive grandfather to me. I have many fond memories of days out at the Bible School farm. "Aunt Rachel" would make us waffles and milkshakes for supper, which was a real treat. When everyone would go to the beach together I always got to ride with Uncle Einar which was so much more exciting than riding with my parents. He drove like a Dominican, speeding and honking his horn and making the trip a real adventure. We always beat everyone else to the beach.
Most of all I remeber the time and attention he gave a little girl. A man without pretension who devoted his life to the service of God and his fellow man,it was privelge to know him.##imported-begin##Jeanne Thomas Proffitt##imported-end##

Senor Einar Peterson-
"Con mucho gusto" it has been getting to know you, and the Peterson family these past few months. It has been fun conversing a little in Spanish, and very interesting listening of the work and customs of Cuba and Dominican Republic of long ago----and really neat to see the spark of love, and twinkle still left in your eyes while remembering some of the special people and places in your life's work! Your and Rachel's faithfulness and service in the mission field, have truly been an inspiration to me....Thank-you Einar----vaja con Dios!##imported-begin##Brenda M. Bach##imported-end##

Einar and Rachel have been a tremendous inspiration for our family over many years. They were so effective in winning the hearts of their people because they were "one of us!" We love you, Einar.##imported-begin##Al and Florence Crane##imported-end##

11:15 am Wed. As I view a sunny, bright blue sky emerging out of a dense grey fog, I believe our Lord is sending all of us a gift in our sadness - a message of joy - "Well done, good and faithful servant Einar. Welcome into my home."
What a legacy Einar has left in a life serving Christ Jesus. So many memories of furlough times, gifts from Cuba and the Dominican, losing at Scrabble games and always the reminder that he is praying for me -
Much love to the family. Enjoy heaven, Uncle Einar!##imported-begin##Linda Bergsma##imported-end##

Einar was my daughter Carol's father-in-law,He married my daughter Carole to Paul and she loved him dearly for his wise and comforting ways, He was a blessing to me when my husband died and came to comfort me and fell in my dining room not noticing he had to step up,he laughed and said "it's not my time yet" and that was Einar. He and Rachel would walk over to my house and give me comfort in the days to come and he will always be in my heart.Rest now Einar you are in a higher place with the Lord.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our deepest prayers are with the entire family. I didn't know him personnally, and I am sorry I didn't. Paul introduced us to his mom and dad a few years back at Life Center, and ever since then I would always look to where they would sit and there they were side by side at Sunday morning service. It was so comforting to see. I will always remember that.

Last Tuesday, my folks and I (Al and Florence) visited Uncle Einar in Gig Harbor. We chatted together in English and Spanish, and (without teeth) he even recited a childhood Norwegian rhyme. I have always loved being with my uncle and aunt, seeing their tireless investment in people and undying love for the Lord. What a life-long inspiration!##imported-begin##Bev Gelderman (Crane)##imported-end##

I only have three uncles, but it was in his arms that I always felt loved best. For that and his great devotion to His Lord I was blessed. Thank you for sharing him with me. Cath##imported-begin##Cathy Brewer##imported-end##
