SHELDON PECK

I am a former patient of both Sheldon and his brother, Harvey. The Pecks were not only outstanding orthodontists, they were also amazing people as well. All of my memories,while painful due to my treatment, were always positive and I can still hear them in my mind with their North Carolina accents. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.

The world loss a great Man. When I think of professor Dr. Sheldon Peck , greatness and « Top Gun » leadership comes to my mind. His positive energy and superb sense of humor combined with an intellect that is second to none are just few of the traits that one rarely sees in the same person. However, Sheldon possessed all those and much more. The orthodontist tribe is so lucky to have had such a great man in our field. Sheldon is someone that would have made any field a better place. Because of him and his wife Leena, our field of orthodontics became richer. The impact he has had through teaching and publications has touched and improved the life of many of us and thousands of patients across the globe. Sheldon and his wife Leena were so giving. They had their residents come to their home office and Learn diagnosis and treatment planing sequencing on the yellow pads. They Loved art in general and were art connaisseurs and loved with great passion the arts and science of orthodontics. They loved history and reconstructed the life Edward Angle and traveled and visited each place Dr Edward Angle lived in from birth to his last breath. This is true passion and dedication to our field. When I think back of my days of residency at Harvard , I think of those wonderful Fridays because I would be like a kid , waiting from one Friday to the next, waiting to see Sheldon and learn from the great Sheldon Peck. I miss you so much Dr Peck , see you soon .....but not yet ...we have to teach some of the things you have taught us before our curtains comes down , we owe this to you if anything , you gave us so much. We miss you so much and love you so much , patrick

My deepest sympathies to Mark and Anya. I worked briefly for Dr. Sheldon Peck concerning the publication of the Edward H. Angle Diaries and Papers. I thought very highly of Dr. Peck.

I have the fondest memories from Dr. Peck during my time as ortho resident. He was a funny, sharp instructor, always ready to offer great advice and tips. He will be greatly missed.

Sheldon and Harvey were good friends and colleagues when we attended BU Dental School together. I had the pleasure of knowing dear Leena and their family, in later years, when Anya and Leena became my students. Indeed Sheldon, Harvey and Leena were very special in many of our lives, and will be truly missed.

I worked for Sheldon about 10 years ago, helping to edit the second printing of his biography of Edward Angle, and also to document and catalog his collection of rare books. His intellectual curiosity and range of interests were both broad and deep, from the history of dental floss to the art of using a slingshot (and everything in between). While he was highly-regarded in his field and meticulous in his work, he also had a wonderful, unexpected sense of humor, which is how I will always remember him.
Life well lived, job well done, rest in peace.

I knew Sheldon Peck when he was at BU and I was his broher and Dr Margolis assistant in 1967. He had a wonderful sense of humor. My sincere sympathy.
