David Peterson

David Peterson, born 10/05/1938, longtime resident of the Marina Del Rey area and well-known welder-fabricator among the yachting community, passed away peacefully on Saturday, 9/05/15, following complications from several diseases. He was a member of Pacific Mariners Yacht Club for over 40 years. Dave led a life of adventure on sea and land in his younger years; and he had a magical way of recanting his stories to all who would listen. As he tells it, he cruised every ocean except the Indian Ocean. He gained a wealth of information over the years and offered advice freely to anyone who asked for information. He leaves behind his devoted partner of 19 years, Barbara Taylor, her family that she shared with him, and his many friends. Services pending
