Dear Jen, Isaiah, and Peck Family,

I am very sorry and saddened for your loss. I used to work with Matt at Aeltus and The Hartford. We would meet for lunch periodically and exchange funny stories about parenting. Matt always loved talking about Isaiah, and he was truly devoted to being a great husband and father.

Matt will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Greetings to the entire Peck family (Jennifer, Isaiah and extended) ~ My heart understands your pain and loss. The bible reads, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Jennifer, God will continue to strengthen you and Isaiah; according to His appointed will. May the love of those around you help you, may the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.

To the Peck Family: I went to school with Matt from a very early age and was fortunate to reconnect with him a few years ago at The Hartford. Matt was such a nice person and he always spoke so lovingly of his wife and son. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Ellyn (LaVigna) Stoltz

Dear Anne and family,

To Matt's entire family,
God seems to often take the good guys home early and Matt was surely one of the best. I have oftened wondered why. My guess is that he is needed for another job that requires someone with his good nature, perhaps as a new guardian angel. Keep your faith and he will be close always. The halls of the Hartford are so much emptier without his booming presence and he is already missed. May God and Matt help you find peace and relief from your grief.

To the Peck Family: words alone cannot express my sorrow. Matt was a very special person and a great friend. He was essentially "family." Although we had drifted apart since we lived together in Pittsburgh, I cannot imagine my highschool, college or law school lives without him somewhere in the mix. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
