My sincere sympathy to the family, Ted, Mr Peelen to me, A man that deserves all the respect. Great man great friend great coach. He was the one responsible for me getting into sports also Mary, thank you both very much. He was for sure one of the good ones. He retired before I joined the fire department but that was also something we had in common. RIP Sir.
So sorry for your loss. The Peelen family was such a positive influence to the St Gregory the Great Community. May he rest in Peace.
