Here is Hal Peper's Obit.
Harold Joseph Peper
February 3, 1933 – July 24, 2020
Hal Peper was born in Bellechester, Minnesota; a small town of 81 people and one stop sign to Chris and Mini Peper. He loved planes and flew his first solo flight at 10 years old. He attended Goodhue High School, where he was the star basketball player, scoring 80 points in one of his games before the 3 pointers were established. His talent in basketball awarded him a scholarship to Mankato State Teachers College, where he graduated in 1955 earning his degree in Chemistry. He loved Mankato State and was a great supporter of the school. In 1990, Hal was inducted into the Minnesota State Mankato Athletic Hall of Fame and continued to support and contribute to the Maverick Athletics.
After graduation, Hal joined the Navy and attended officer candidate school in Rhode Island. He was a member of the VP 40 being stationed in the Philippines surveying the South China Sea where he received the China Service Medal. He had also been stationed at North Island, San Diego where he retired as a LTJG after five years.
Following his military retirement, Hal joined Beckman Instruments, where he quickly rose to the position of Senior Vice President of sales and marketing. He had been with Beckman for 28 years. After his retirement, Hal maintained a close relationship with many of his managers…. They remembered Hal as "Humphry Bogart, Clark Gable, Clint Eastwood, and all the other cool guys, all rolled into one."
After leaving Beckman Instruments, Hal and former Beckmanite, Pete Furton, started two companies; California Analytical Instruments (CAI) one of the leading suppliers of gas analyzers and systems, and his other company Environmental Testing Corporation (ETC), a high altitude vehicle and engine emissions testing laboratory serving every automotive manufacturer in the world.
In 2007, Hal was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award from Minnesota State Mankato's for his generous donations through CAI and ETC to the university's Automotive Engineering Technology Department, which included an emission test system and evaporative emission equipment. Through his support Hal hoped to contribute in the "laying of the foundation of one of the finest educational engine and fuel research emissions testing departments of any university in the United States."
Hal had also been involved as the president of the Southern California Tri-County Chapter of the Leukemia Society and was selected as father of the year at Servite High School.
Hal Peper passed away on July 24th in Fullerton, California with his loving wife, Joan by his side. In addition to his wife he is survived by his two children Fr. Eric (Amy), Christianne Curry (Ty), his four grandchildren, and the delight of his life: His four month old great-grandson Michael Emmet Peper.
A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
