Peter F. Faller, 83, Bismarck, died February 6, 2012, at the Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center, Bismarck. Services will be held at 10:30 am Monday, February 13, at the Mandan Baptist Church, 1007 3rd St SW, Mandan, with Rev. Jon Wall. Burial will be at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, Mandan. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service at the church. Pete was born June 17, 1928, near Grand Forks, ND, and grew up on a farm near Verendery, ND. He enlisted in the Army in January of 1951 and served for two years in Germany where he received the ADM Army of Occupation Medal for his service during the occupation of Germany after WWII. After his military service, he returned to ND and resided in Bismarck where he worked at the American Legion for a couple of years. During this time he met the woman he would spend the rest of his life with, Veronica "Ronnie" Ingram. They were married in December 1956, and had two children, Eva 1957 and Paul 1959. Peter started driving truck for various construction companies, driving truck during the summers and driving taxi during the winters. He was hired by Northern Improvement Company in 1962 where he spent the rest of his working career until his retirement in 1990. Pete kept busy during retirement doing much of the yard maintenance and chores around their home. Pete and Ronnie joined a local Baptist church where they joined a mission to Monterrey, Mexico, to help local families build a church and they traveled around the western part of the US visiting relatives and family. In his later years, Pete lived at the Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center where he always enjoyed talking about his adventures driving truck all over the upper Midwest, working on jobs from flood control to construction debris removal, to some of the bigger interstate road projects across ND. Pete was a big man who lived a hard-working, long life. He was good company and would throw a helping hand in whenever he could. In his later years, his faith shaped his life and helped sustain and grow his family bonds. His sense of humor, his laughter, and his company will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Pete leaves behind his wife, Veronica; his daughter, Eva Jerome Hulm; and his son, Paul.
