He was born June 14, 1957 in East Liverpool, Ohio to the late John Neal and Kathleen McKee Pease. He was employed at Ferro Corporation, where he served as Plant Manager and Engineer until his retirement at age 60. He was then a driver for Northside Oxygen and Shriver’s delivery. He was an avid bowler and was chosen to be in the Amateur Bowling Hall of Fame, for an 860 series. He also enjoyed spending time with his friend’s playing poker.
As a devoted member of the Roseville/Crooksville Communities, he spent his time as president of the youth baseball league, and a wrestling coach, where he was known to be the loudest man in the gym or ball field. He was a longtime member of the Roseville Village Council and a Lake Isabella trustee. He enjoyed spending time with his sons; never missing important life events and loved helping them with do-it-yourself projects. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, who he doted on endlessly and they affectionately referred to him as Pappy. He never missed an opportunity to lovingly rile up his daughters in law. He was very proud of his family and very patriotic. He was an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and The Ohio State Buckeyes, never missing any games.
