Naomi Peck

Thinking of all of Naomi´s family and very sorry for her passing. Somewhere in the mid 1960s when I was a young teenager at summer camp, Naomi was my junior counselor and an important and a huge lovely influence on my life. I played guitar and she taught me many beautiful songs. I wanted to be an artist and she encouraged me ( I´ve had a wonderful life as a photographer). I wanted to be like her, because I thought she was special and kind and wonderful. I even visited her at Urbana. We...

The years have not changed the fact that I miss Naomi. I miss her laugh, her intellect, her passion for life and her kindness to others. She was a bright light in my life.

I was a graduate student with Lee (class of 1997). He and Naomi were a team in everything they did. When it came time to write my MFA Documentary to complete my thesis; Naomi was the most helpful. She made me rewrite the damn thing three times, and today, I am a better writer because of her. My fondest memory though, was the night my wind-shield-wipers malfunctioned during a raging snow storm. Naomi and Lee took me in for the night; my left arm and face frozen from operating the wiper by...

Norm and I loved Naomi and we miss her smile, laugh and her stories. We can't believe that five years have passed. Norm and I were just zooming with my sisters on Sunday and we mentioned Naomi. (All my sisters and my Mom knew and loved her.) Norm was remembering his trip to Philadelphia with Naomi for an Art Show. He told us that it was quite an adventure! We send our love to you, Lee - and Jon and Joel and your families. We will remember Naomi forever!

Naomi, I miss your spirit, your grace, your intellect, your genuineness, your humility, your laugh, your songs, and your friendship. I miss you. Jan

Naomi was an upbeat and talented woman. I am fortunate to have known her even a little.

Dear Peck family and Dan & family,

It's with intense sorrow that I write to you right now, an hour after hearing the news of Naomi's passing. I've known Noami ("Na"mostly) since the 6th grade in Chicago. She was my oldest friend and likely the one most dear to me in my life. I moved from Chicago to New York after 9th grade and missed her terribly. We stayed in touch over the years, and I had the joy of spending time with her and Lee when they were in NY for Zack's wedding not too long...

Dear Lee and family, so sorry to hear of Naomi's passing. I just found a note she had sent me with a picture of your grandchildren, you and Naomi, warm thoughts of the Peck's came to mind. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Barbara and Joe Hertko

Such a terrible loss! I will always cherish my happy memories of Naomi. Vince and I send you and the family lots of love.
