I am so sorry for your loss. I have many memories of Mr. Pevitts through the years. I last saw his wonderful smile when we ended up in the waiting room of the eye doctor. To me he possessed a "John Wayne" mystique. Tall, strong and brave. A loving husband, father and grandfather. He will be missed.

Grandpa Pevitts was such a wonderful man. So kind, caring, gentle & understanding. A perfect husband who loved & cared for his dear wife; a loving dad to his daughters; and such a proud grandfather and great grandfather to all of the children. May he rest in peace.
