For many years after the war, “Red” was a well-known sports enthusiast in baseball, softball and hockey in Timmins, Ont. He left his new hometown to pursue travels with a job that took him to the wilds of Red Lake, Labrador, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Alta., and Saudi Arabia. Pepere chose to spend his retirement years admiring the view of Lake Nipissing from “his” porch, doing crossword puzzles and watching his grandchildren swim at the lake.



Cremation will be followed by interment at St. Mary's Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in his name to the Alzheimer's Society.
