He will be greatly missed by his children, Gina and Howard Pepper of Georgetown, Scott Williams, and Stephanie Brooks of Oak Park, Ill.; siblings, Joyce Pavlosky of Milford, and Glen Moore of Milton; grandchildren, Katelyn Kenney, Logan Pepper, Debbie Johnson and Michael Williams; and eight great-grandchildren.

Per the family’s wishes, no formal services will be held at this time.
