Our deepest sympathy for all the family and friends of Bob Pegram. "Mr. P", as we called him, was one of the most genuine and kind persons we've ever known. He came to visit us in Mississippi and we made this group photo. My wife, Christie, took the pic. We had such a good time then and every time we were with Mr. P. And, i also remember how dedicated he was to helping others by cooking meals for the local soup kitchen. He will be missed by all. - Richard Beattie
