Growing up, we lived not to far from Mr and Mrs Peeler and our parents got together occasionally to fellowship. I will always respect and appreciate his kindness and good nature . He always greeted you with a smile and was happy to assist you, if you needed help. He enjoyed going to church, spending time with his family and conversing with friends. I will always appreciate him for his good deeds , as a classmate and a good friend. Keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers during this time of grief.

As a friend of Orange James Everett Peeler,I can honestly say that he was a good man;never saying anything negative about anyone;that he had three loves,his family,his God and the opportunity to share one of his stories of the past.
So sorry for your loss condolences to the family
To the family: I am very sorry to hear about your love one passing. I went to school with Orange and the last time I seen him was at White oak Manor in Shelby when he was taking therapy and we had a long conversation about the school days. I graduated with his sister Gwendolyn in 1962 . Orange was a good person and he will surely be missed. May the Lord comfort you during this time of grief. My condolences to the family 🙏 James Stowe
