Peter John Arzikovic, affectionately known as “RZ”, passed away unexpectedly, while on vacation, in Jamaica, Dec 3, 2023. Truly one of his favorite destinations, he was accompanied by his wife, “One Love”, Annika, of 38 wonderful years filled with joy and laughter.

Peter was born in Racine, December 11, 1949, son of the late Peter and Jane Arzikovic. Pete was a graduate of Park High School, “Class of 1968”.

On August 31, 1985, Pete was united in marriage to Annika Jansson. Along with two former co-workers, Peter started a business venture, a water treatment company, known as Lakeside Water. His belief was that if you work hard enough, things will work out and it did!
