Remembering My Father
By Laura Thomas, ABC | June 15th, 2008
Today, on Father’s Day, while my husband charges his new electric razor and watches golf from a prone position on the couch, I want to take just a moment to remember my own father, John Thomas Pevehouse.
Born of a generation that often worked for just one employer until retirement, he held down many different jobs: solider, welder, farmer, race car driver (more for fun, than for work), deacon, deputy sheriff, truck driver, pipe fitter, town supervisor, husband, father and grandfather.
Cancer took him from us too soon. He was just about to actually retire and he had many plans to travel with my mother to places yet to be seen.
I’m often sad about that, and my daughter misses him terribly; but, looking back at some of these pictures, I take heart in knowing he lived quite a life in just 65 years.

Great pictures. He looks like he was a character.

It was a pleasure reading about your father. I ran across your website because my friend from high school was Jo Peevehouse from Lewisville Texas. I am sure you are not related but it was nice to see the site. I can tell he was very dear to your heart.
