First I am truly sorry I didn't make it Saturday. I tried ....

Dennis, Keith, Carla, Brian, Ashley your dad will be missed. He was a good man. The times and laughter we shared as Dennis and I grew up were memorable. The best memory of your dad was when he was building Santa's bikes for Brian and Ashley in the garage at the house in woodlake. Needless to say we had a few as he built the bikes. Then the time came to test drive the bikes. He took off laughing with his signature laugh and poof he bit the dust. All Dennis and I could do was laugh. Santa and his elves did a great job... RIP Mr. Pepiton ... You will be missed

The Pepiton Family,
I am very sorry for your lost. I worked with Eddie for many years at Ideal Food Store. We shared many life experiences when he and I worked in the front of the store. When I got married nine years ago, Eddie came to the wedding. The family and friends were so happy to see him; he spent the entire evening telling stories with everyone. He will truly be missed.
My prayers go out to all of you. I am sorry I will be out of town for the services.

Life Lessons

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard.
Life lessions that you taught to me,
But i got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today,
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did.
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

I Love You Dad - and will miss you terribly.
