Patrick Peckham Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
complications from chemotherapy. He was 75. Pat was born in Cripple Creek, Colorado, the
son of the late Ilo (Lindy) and Venor (Doc) Peckham of Mazomanie, WI. After earning a degree
in Political Science and Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, he spent the
next 45 years working in print journalism.
Pat was locally active in Good News, the Wisconsin Valley Woodturners, the Wausau Wheelers
and served 6 years as Alder for the Southeast Side Neighborhood. He was a kind man who
enjoyed paddling and fishing, fixing things, turning wooden pens, and tending to his trail
cameras.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Connie Peckham, a sister Margaret of Arena, Wisconsin,
a brother Perry (Barbara) of Santa Fe, New Mexico, a daughter Elizabeth of Madison and a son Matthew
of Milwaukee.
Arrangements are being made by Mid Wisconsin Cremation Society. There will be no service,
but a celebration of his life will be held in early summer.
