Earl Douglas “Doug” Peppard, 65, Debert, died Feb. 27, 2008 at home surrounded by his family. He was born in Great Village, N.S. on July 19, 1942. He was a son of the late William V. and Minnie (MacKenzie) Peppard. Dad spent several years working at M.P. Crowell’s but spent most of his career in the carpentry trade. He worked at Kent Homes for many years, finishing his career with Dan MacKay Construction. This was his favourite job and Dad truly enjoyed going to work each day. He felt very fortunate to be employed by Dan, a great boss and close friend. Dad had a passion for GOLF, crossword puzzles, reading books, carpentry, Toronto Maple Leafs, and lobster! He was well known for his beautiful garden and wood pile. Dad’s greatest pride was his family. He truly was an honourable man and will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
