Fred Peck, renaissance man, passes after lengthy illness
Fred Peck and Joanne Schilling, the dynamic duo and life members.
Colonel Frederick C. Peck died on February 20, 2021, at Cambridge Senior Living in Rice Lake, WI, after battling Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia.
Fred was a remarkable and gifted man – a “Renaissance Man.” Athlete, scholar, intellectual, author, sportsman, humorist and great storyteller, and loving father, brother, and husband. He mentored and inspired others to be the very best they could be. Many Marines, friends and family have remarked that he was one of the best they’d ever had the honor and pleasure to serve with or know. His humor was as quick and subtle as Mark Twain or Benjamin Franklin, and his smile radiant albeit a bit mischievous.
