Mr Pepe you and your wife helped many of us kids in the neighborhood with part time jobs selling coffee in the Bingo Hall. We had many laughs there a long time ago. Sending my condolences to Mrs Pepe and the family. He was a kind man who devoted so much to his church and community. Your all in my prayers.

He was a gentleman and a role model ! He will be greatly missed! I know he is at peace in heaven with those who have journeyed before him! I know they will comfort him and keep him safe !
I feel blessed to have had such a special cousin in my life !
He was truly....one in a million !
