I have so many wonderful memories it’s hard to choose one. I remember when we bought our first house and he and Ms. Gladys brought us dinner because they knew we would be tired from moving
Mr. Peacock was such a nice man. He was so kind to my Uncle Sherwood over the years (as was all the Peacock family). I remember him and Mrs. Peacock visiting with my uncle at Autumn Care….just brought such joy to Uncle Sherwood when he was sick. Mr. Peacock had a heart for the Lord and will be greatly missed. Prayers for the entire family during this difficult time. Elaine Turner Beal
Mr Peacock was a faithful man of God for his family. My family just knew him for a short time due to the marriage of Casey to our Zach. We could see his love for his family and pray for their peace and comfort with the many memories they will share of his life with them throughout this tough time.
Prayers to the Peacock family. Mr. Peacock was a wonderful, Godly man. He will be missed by many. I feel Blessed to have known him.
