Mike Wolfe, star of American Pickers, paid tribute on Instagram to his close friend and mentor Bob Peterson after his sudden passing. Wolfe praised Peterson’s generosity, mechanical talent, and the deep bond they shared, while fans offered condolences and shared memories of Peterson’s impact.
Wolfe’s life revolved around two great passions: adventure and family. To him, his Harley Davidson Road King was more than just a motorcycle—it was a companion on every journey, rain or shine, reflecting his endless thirst for discovery. He also loved simple joys like long beach walks, fishing trips, and visits to Fortescue and East Point.
Above all, he cherished his family. Bringing happiness to his loved ones brought him profound fulfillment. He leaves behind children, grandchildren, siblings, and extended family who will carry on his legacy of love, joy, and an adventurous spirit.
