"Such a wonderful man. Love you guys!"
"During the years 72-78 Mr. Pepe organized his co-workers to play table tennis matches at lunchtime in the 103d Engineers Armory in Philadelphia. Always smiling, as he drove the ball toward your corner. He was a very good player and an excellent (CW4) officer Donn Spear"
