I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Peeler in person, but I came to call him Pop due to all the great stories Gina shared with us. He must have been a great man to raise a daughter with such a sweet soul. Pop will live on in the hearts and minds of all who know and love his precious children.

I never had the honor of meeting you in person, however I feel as if I've grown to know you through the wonderful stories Gina and Heather have told me about you. I know you are loving father who is deeply devoted to your son Randy, and you raised a kind, loving, beautiful daughter, Gina. I hope you are surrounded with peace, reuniting with you wife. I hope you have an endless supply of wood to create heavenly masterpieces, and have every type of musical instrument your heart desires. You are truly missed.
