Peterson Inc. Custom Metal Fabricators of Avon, which had been located in Boston, then in Hingham and is now currently located in Avon. There he continued the family traditions as a Welder and Owner of the company. Bob was still very much involved with the business. A little over 2 years ago, he along with his wife Ruby moved from Cohasset to the newly constructed Linden Ponds in Hingham. In his younger years, he was a member of the Braintree Rifle Club and was a rifle marksman. Bob was a great cook, boater, and avid scuba driver. Bob was truly the “handy man” of all handy men. He was a true problem solver.
