March 1, 1938 — June 14, 2010
Carl M. Peterson, age 72, of New Brighton, MN passed away peacefully on June 14, 2010 at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis surrounded by his loving family.
Carl founded SCP Control, Inc. in 1982 and was an active member of the National Renderers Association. He was an expert in odor control for the rendering industry. He was a graduate of Cavalier High School (ND). His educational endeavors continued on at the University of North Dakota where he received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering. He then went on to receive his PhD from the University of Minnesota in Environmental Health. Carl was an active member of Atonement Lutheran in New Brighton.
Carl always had the time to lend a hand to a neighbor, co-worker, friend, or family member. His loving, kind-hearted, generous ways will always be remembered and treasured and should serve as an example to all. Those who had the chance to cross paths with Carl were truly blessed by his smile, his humor, and his gentle ways. We will remember him as a loving husband, wonderful Dad, and devoted Poppa/Grandpa. Carl, Dad, Grandpa/Poppa, you will truly be missed!
Our family wishes to thank Pastor Tom Jenkins and the doctors and nurses at Abbott. Your presence and comfort was greatly appreciated!
