Mrs. Pearce, Pearce Family members and relatives, my prayers and thoughts are with you all in this difficult time . I was lucky enough to have had the chance to work with Pee Wee and get to be on his crew once in awhile in the Tin Mill. I got to see first hand just how nice of a person Pee Wee Pearce really was , an honest, fair foreman and especially someone we could all be proud to call our friend " Pee Wee Pearce". Most sincerely, John M.

Dear Muggy, Pee Wee, Kaye, Kelli and KimMy prayers are with you all in this difficult time. I know for me this was very difficult to hear and accept, our families have known each other before I was ever born, mom grew up with Muggy and Pee Wee as kids and I've know all the kids, aunts and uncles for as long as I can remember, we may not be related by blood but we were all more less a family related by our friendship with each other's families that has spanned well over 70 plus yrs. I will always have fond memories of my time spent with the family and Big Pee Wee, as far as I can remember. I can still remember in the summer time as a kid going out to Wintersville and going to the baseball games and watch little Per Wee play and Big Pee Wee coach, he loved coaching the kids and loved sports. I will always remember this from my earliest yrs of life and it continued through out my life to this very day and will continue as I come home to visit my parents, mom use say let's go see Muggy and Pee Wee and the answer was always yes let's go, it was always something I looked forward to when I came home from my travels from where I was working at, I will always treasure this time that I had a chance to visit Per Wee and Muggy and hear his stories and jokes, he would always make me laugh when I would see him. I'm still having a difficult time with this and the biggest thing is not being able to know that when I come home now Big Pee Wee won't be there with Muggy because as long as I can remember on the trips to visit them they were both there to visit with all of us, but I know when we come to see you Muggy he will be watching over us from heaven above. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten, a Great Husband, Great Father, Great Person, and a Great Friend to all whom he met and a person who I always considered as Family. Rest In Peace Big Pee Wee, we will all Miss You, but know that you've made all our lives better for the Friendship we've shared with you. My condolenc
