A great coach and a wonderful man. If you had him as a coach or teacher, you have been blessed with moments of greatness. I feel honored for the few memories and moments of wisdom from him. Thankyou Coach. CPCS'88
I loved Coach Pepper. My best memories at Central Park were my daily talks with him. He always made me feel so special when he called me "school beauty". He meant the world to my family and he will be missed.

He was my high school principal. Fine man. BTW if you were an athlete, he really took a shine to you.
