David Ellis Peeler

Uncle David is greatly missed. He was a great man, Uncle and a spiritual giant. I will always treasure the times our family spent with his family at Christmas' and family events. The Angels games our families enjoyed together. The great love he, Aunt Peggy and my Dad had for my Grandma. All the great stories they told us about Grandpa, the railroad and the restaurant. The lunches we had with Uncle David when I went in on Saturdays with my Dad to VPB. And when I was older Uncle David and Aunt Lily Ann took me into their home which helped make my trips to work and school manageable. They always gave me love and support whenever I needed it. In recent years we shared the language of accounting and swapped Tax stories. Our conversations helped fill the void left by the passing of my father. The sadness we feel is only overcome by the knowledge that he was welcomed with open arms by my Dad, Grandma and Grandpa. Love and Prayers Ben.

Dave hired me right out college in 1974. We worked together for 20 years before I took over as the managing partner of our CPA practice in Whittier California. He was dedicated to serving others and was a great leader. He was a wise, gifted professional who served our clients and staff well. I learned so much from him. My prayers go out to his family during this difficult time.
