PEPPARD, James Edward “Jim” – 71, Bible Hill, passed away suddenly on Thursday morning, June 25, 2015, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born February 14, 1944, in Truro, he was a son of the late George and Margaret (Falkenham) Peppard. Jim was a kind, caring and courageous man. For most of his life, he was a shoe traveler and traveled the Atlantic Provinces, but his favourite place was always home. In more recent times, Jim enjoyed vacationing south with Georgina and was looking forward to another trip to Key West, Florida. He truly enjoyed spending time with “the boys” at their hunting camp and fishing on his favourite rock at the cottage with his faithful four legged friend, Casey. Jim was admired and respected by many, young and old; a devoted family man, he took great pride in his three grandsons. Jim leaves his wife of 51 years, Georgina “Georgie” (Nixon) Peppard; sons, Thomas, New Glasgow; Kevin, Dartmouth; grandsons, Alexandre, Joseph and Lucas; brother, Fred (Heather), Carlton, Yarmouth County. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his sister, Joyce Simlett. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro, where Jim’s family will receive friends from 5-8 p.m., Monday, June 29, 2015.
