IN MEMORIAM: JUDGE TOM PETERSEN
The Chesed Rescue family mourns the passing of Judge Thomas K. Petersen, the chairman of our board. A highly respected judge, Judge Petersen was known for his compassion in the juvenile courts, as well as his accomplishments as the chief assistant state attorney and public defender. Judge Petersen was also recognized for his pioneering reform programs and his hands on approach to helping juvenile defenders turn their lives around.
To us though, he was just Tom, who always thought the best of everyone. Tom was always the first to reach into his pocket to help a person or animal in need, and if the situation called for something other than money, he was always happy to give his time and understanding. Tom was also fiercely protective of the people and animals he cared about. His eternal optimism was contagious and he will be dearly missed.
Tom is survived by his wife Irene and his three cats.
