Peter Frank Val 1926 - 2014
Angels Camp, CA...Peter Frank Val passed away unexpectedly, Thursday February 13th, 2014. He was born October 5th, 1926 in Angels Camp, California. Except for his military service, he lived his entire life in Angels Camp. Peter was a man who loved to laugh and was most happy with his friends and family having a good time. Peter was a man of integrity and will be missed by the many people that knew him....
He was preceded in death by his parents Maria & John Val of Angels Camp and half-Sister, Louisa Ahearn of San Francisco, CA.
He attended local schools in Angels Camp and graduated from Bret Harte High School. He had many friends from school that he remained in touch with over the years. He proudly served in World War 2 and was stationed in Japan. He was honorably discharged from the Army at Camp Beale, CA and came back to his hometown.
Pete worked at the Safeway Store in Angels Camp after the War. He was also a part Owner of the Altaville Market with a group of his business associates. He worked at the Altaville Store for 45 years before retiring. He always had something humorous to say to everyone who walked through the door and people felt like they had always met a new friend by meeting Peter. His personality really left a mark on people with his good natured humor.
When he wasn’t working, Peter liked to travel and make trips over the hill to Tahoe & Reno with his friends and family. He was also a member of the Angels Gun Club for many years.
Peter is survived by his sisters Josephine Anderson of Galt; Nilda (Rocky) Quinones of Angels Camp.
