He was an avid Sooner football fan and he loved Chevy trucks and his big screen TV.
When their oldest son began high school it was time to settle down so, Tuttle it was! Pepper gave up the gasoline business and became a commercial construction superintendent.
As the years passed his passions changed to nice weekends at Lake Eufala, doing his artwork and playing with his grandchildren. He got a twinkle in his eye every time he saw his children.
