Robert A. Peck
1946 - 1990
I attended his funeral Saturday morning. There were about 25 people
present, including -=RJ Mical=-, Jay Miner, Nancy Rains, Rick Unland, Thad
Floryan, Chad Netzer, Arthur Peck (his brother), and his wife Andrea. Rob and
Andrea had no children.
It was a Catholic service at St. Mary's church in Los Gatos, followed
by his entombment at (I think) Los Gatos Memorial Park.
Rob had been suffering from cancer for some time. Doctors said it had
gone into remission. After returning from a trip, he was feeling unwell,
and it was initially diagnosed as some tropical virus. However, after CAT
scans, they found tumors everywhere. The doctors told him he had anywhere
from two weeks to two months to live. Three days later, on July 3rd, he died.
He was heavily drugged, and he died peacefully. His wife was with him.
Following the formal services, there was a luncheon held at the
California Cafe in Old Town Los Gatos, where memories were shared and toasts
were raised. The people at our table (-=RJ=-, Rick, Nancy Rains, Cheryl
Gibbons) started to joke heavily, and by the end of the afternoon, everyone
was in good spirits. -=RJ=- delivered a wonderful toast to the memory of Rob,
about how doing good things for others adds up and returns to you. Rob did many
good things. He will be missed. He will be remembered fondly.
Rest in peace.
