Raymond George Peppelman Jr.

Raymond Peppelman Jr., 71, of Center Valley, PA, passed away on June 29, 2024, at Lehigh Valley Muhlenberg Hospital after a long illness. Born in Abington, PA, Ray was the son of the late Raymond Peppelman Sr. and the late Margaret (Parsons) Peppelman.

Ray was a 1972 graduate of Council Rock High School and Middle Bucks Technical School. After high school, Ray worked at Peppelman Brothers Excavating for ten years. Later, Ray graduated from CHI Institute and became a Computer Hardware Technician. Ray contributed to the growth of the technology field at many companies including Decision Data, Arrow Electronics and General Electric.

In retirement, a pontoon boat enabled good fishing with great friends. From Lake Nockamixon to Jupiter, Florida, Ray enjoyed waterskiing, fishing, jet skiing and other water sports. Yet it was Ocean City, New Jersey that held a special place in his heart. On a summer afternoon, you could always find Ray swimming laps or floating on a noodle in his favorite community pool. His love for travel was fed by trips to the Caribbean, European cities and the U.S.National Parks.

Ray also shared his skills by donating his time to Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County and Pearl S. Buck International in Perkasie, PA.

Ray will be dearly missed by his wife, Linda Peppelman, together they shared 47 years of marriage; his siblings, Nancy Stankunas, David (Anita) Peppelman, and John (Dianne) Peppelman along with many family members and friends. Ray was predeceased by his brother, Norman Peppelman.
