When nominating him for this award, his colleagues said Pedley goes “above and beyond, is happy and cheerful, dependable and has a heart of gold.”

Pedley and his wife, Donna, have two daughters, Brandy and Angel. He is a graduate of Franklin High School and attended the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and JTPA Industrial Building Maintenance School.
