Richard C. Peck
67, of Plainfield, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on October 11, 2016.
Beloved husband of Sharon (Fisk); devoted father of Mandy Peck (Bill Wilson), Matthew (Becky) Peck, and Meagan (Andy) Patterson; doting grandfather of Morgan Walsh. Brother to Sue (Ken) Facchina, Pat (Roger) Hileman, Jim Peck, and Gary (Margaret) Peck; brother-in-law to Michael (Karen) Fisk, Tim (Mary) Fisk, Polly (Duke) Yaguchi, and Stephen (Sheri) Fisk. Special son-in-law of Sally Fisk. Numerous nieces and nephews also survive.
Preceded in death by his parents Carl and Barbara Peck and his father-in-law George Fisk.
Rich impacted the lives of many. He was an active member of the Plainfield community, where he proudly served as president and longtime coach of the Junior Cats Football Organization, dedicated volunteer with the PHS Booster Club, as well as a baseball, softball, basketball, and soccer coach.
He was a huge supporter of the Detroit Lions and Red Wings. He was an avid Cubs fan, and we attribute their 9th inning rally against the Giants to his rooting them on in Heaven. Rich loved to golf and enjoyed spending weekends at Sawmill Lake, captaining his pontoon boat and relaxing by the campfire.
Rich was probably the most stubborn man alive, amazing even his doctors with his strength and fighting spirit to live every moment to the fullest.
Rich was currently employed as a sales engineer for Power Plant Services in Melrose Park and previously worked in the meat dept. for Jewel Foods.
