Mr. John H. Peteyanas' Obituary
John H. Peteyanas, age 91, quietly left us on June 27, 2020 at his home, surrounded by his loving family. John lived and grew up in Muskegon. He retired from Teledyne Continental Motors and served in the U.S. Army during WWII. He loved fishing, hunting, singing and karaoke. He also loved going to the casinos and spending time with his family. He was preceded in death by his wife Norlyn and friend Dorothea Gilland. Survivors include 2 daughters, Ruthie and husband Mike Stout, and Kathy Jo Morrow; 3 granddaughters, Carieann and husband Steve, Lori, Ellie and husband Brian; 6 great-grandchildren, Matthew and wife Amanda, Lincoln, Brielle, Nicholas and wife Shanda, Aaron, and Megan; 4 great-great- grandchildren, Eli, Rowan, Easton and Kaitlynn. John, who was known by his family as “Papa” was the most wonderful husband, father grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather. The greatest gift I received came from God, and I call him Dad.
