This memorial website was created in memory of my grandfather, William Ray Peters, 50, born in Arlington, Texas on October 30, 1917 and passed away in Pixley, California on January 2, 1968. Grandpa disappeared from Arlington, in May of 1962. Missing for 40 years until i located him on December 12, 2002. Grandpa was a veteran of WWII. He was in the Marines, the Army, and being a carpenter by trade, he helped rebuild "Pearl Harbor". His best friend was Woody Everman of "Woody's Pawn Shop" in Arlington. If you knew my grandpa or not and have good memories to share, please do. He left a year and a half before i was born, but through the memories that Momma (Linda Peters Ward") shared, i feel as if i've known him my entire life. But, i sure would love to know more. Grandpa, you did'nt have go. Please know, that i will always love you. Until we meet in heaven, so long, Grandpa.Your granddaughter, JoJo
