WALLACE PECK Obituary
Bud was an avid hunter and veteran that was loved by all.
He joined the Navy in 1941 after catching news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor while he was attending Mount Vernon High School. He and a friend got up and left school in the middle of the day after the announcement was made. He served in the Navy on the USS Coolbaugh DE 217 until the war was over.
Before he left and joined the military he met Gladys Rindal. Bud and Gladys married on January 6th, 1945. They stayed married until Gladys passed away on August 15, 2008. Bud and Gladys had two children, Greg and Patty. Patty passed away in 1979.
During Bud's life he accomplished many things. He was a charter member of the Silver Arrow Bowman Archery Club, longtime member of the Lions Club and he holds the record in the Pope and Young Record Books for shooting the first Rocky Mountain Goat in 1960 in Washington with a bow and arrow.
After retiring in 1987 he spent most of his days flying radio controlled airplanes, creating stain glass and doing leather work.
Bud met and married Margaret Bridge on April 19th, 2010.
Bud was preceded in death by brothers, Les and Miles Peck.
Bud is survived by his son, Greg and wife Michele; grandson, Daniel Peck, his wife Patricia and great-grandchildren Lucas and Briana; granddaughter, Malea Vanderark, her husband Bryce and great-grandchildren Jori Ann and Kylee; sisters-in-law, Linda Peck, Sharon Peck, Christine Rindal Dorsey and Phyllis Rindal Benson; brother and sister-in-law, Johnny and Arlene Rindal.

Greg, I want to offer my deepest Sympathys to you and your family during this sad time in your life. Bud had taught me to shoot archery from1956 thru the 60's and our pictures are in the Silver Arrow Bowmen Scrapbook taken by the Skagit Valley Herald as Bud taught me to shoot. He was a life time friend who I will never forget.

Greg & Michele,
My heartfelt sympathys go out to you during this very sad and difficult time. Uncle Bud was such a funny man, and very "proud" man! He was always so excited to show off his trophy room with all of his "great hunts" on the wall! He kept the humor up during dads funeral, when we all felt like losing it, and I will always remember his big bear hugs, and his wonderful smile!! Please know that he is smiling down on you all, and will be waiting for you when it is your turn to go home. You were very lucky to have had such an awesome father, and I am sure he knows he was a very lucky father to have had such a great son! God bless you Greg, I will be thinking about you during these very difficult days ahead for you. Love your cousin Shannon (Peck) Fitting
