William Peoples, Jr.

William R. Peoples, Jr. passed into the arms of his Loving Father on December 24, 2014. Known in various circles as Bill or Buddy, he was born July 19, 1946, in Sanford, FL. He was a man of faith, and many of his friends requested that he pray on their behalf.

Mr. Peoples was a lifetime resident of Central Florida, and a graduate of Boone High School, and an avid Gator fan. He received a BA degree from Florida Technological University and a M.Ed degree from the University of Central Florida.

Mr. Peoples was a beloved elementary school teacher in both Orange and Seminole Counties, finishing his 35 year teaching career at Lake Mary Elementary School. He often worked a second job to provide for his family, thereby teaching his children the value of hard work.

The lights of Mr. Peoples life were undoubtedly his 4 grandsons and 4 granddaughters. He loved each one fiercely and had funny nicknames for each of them.

Also surviving Mr. Peoples are Mary, his wife of 47 years, daughter Kimberly Cook Glenn and son Rev. David Peoples Lourdes. Other survivors include sisters Barbara Brown Wayne, Martha Chappell Ronald, Margie Pursche Ebe, and brother John Peoples Pat.
