Marvin Peck Obituary

Marvin Peck of West Hartford died peacefully at his home on June 29 just 3 days shy of his 100th birthday. During his working years, he owned and operated Peck Dental Lab, helping many happy patients to smile. He enjoyed a full life of many interests - traveling, sailing, skiing, loved his sportscars, and his favorite beverage scotch. He was a medic in the army stationed in the Philipines during World War II. You could always find him either telling or listening to a good joke. He was a lifetime member of the National Ski Patrol and truly enjoyed teaching others how to ski. Marvin was predeceased by his wife of 70 years Lorraine Miller Peck. He leaves his son Robert Peck and his daughter Elise Peck Sanford and her husband Jeffrey Sanford. Funeral services will be held at gravesite on July 6 at 10 am at Hartford Mutual Society Memorial Park, 74 Wolcott Road in East Granby. A gathering after the funeral to celebrate him will be held following the service at Delamar Hotel, 1 Memorial Road West Hartford.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father. My father Tom O´Brien was a friend of your Dad many, many years ago when we lived on Simsbury Road. I have a vivid memory of going with your Dad and mine down to Wethersfield Cove about 1953. Your Dad had built a small hydroplane speed boat and we helped to get it down to the cove using my Dad´s pickup for what I believe was it´s maiden voyage. The boat was a great success, and I recall your father taking me on a ride around Wethersfield Cove, it was the fastest I´d ever been in any vehicle, much less a real speedboat. I was about 10 years old at the time. I´m glad he lived such a long and wonderful life.
