Mr. Peters is survived by his beloved wife of 34 years Barbara Peters of Lathrop.

He was blessed by four grandchildren; Ada Atkinson of Tracy, Samantha Blankenship of Las Vegas, Christen Linck of Las Vegas, and Anita Linck of Las Vegas.

John was a resident of Lathrop for 62 years. He retired after 37 years of service from Libby Owens Ford (LOF). Some of John’s favorite pass-times where playing on his computer, swimming, watching football and woodworking with his late father. John loved everyone he came in contact with; his easy-going nature was always a comfort to all. He was a devoted husband and loved his grandchildren deeply.
