Greetings,

Bob Peay passed away this afternoon at the V.A. Hospital in Asheville, NC after a long illness.
I received a call from Harold Manning, who visited with Bob today and a followup phone call from Sylvia's son.  Memorial services are tentatively scheduled for June 24th in Boone, N.C.
As more information becomes available I will pass it on.  Keep Sylvia and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

 

I've attached a photo of Bob taken at the VDHA Reunion in San Antonio in 2008.
