St. Leonard Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company 7 is saddened to learn of the passing of Charter Member Gerald C. Peterson, one of the individuals whose early contributions helped shape the foundation of our department.

Although his time with the company was limited, the impact of his efforts has carried through the decades. The work of our founders created the footing on which we continue to serve our community today, and without those contributions, our department would not be what it is.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Peterson family. His legacy lives on within our station and in the continued service of our volunteers.
