He is survived by his mother, Greta Peckham, brother, Glenn Peckham, sister, Suzanne Peckham, nephew, Christopher Peckham, niece, Sarah Clarke, wife, Susan Peckham, step daughter Amanda (George MacPhee) MacDonald, grandchildren, Peter, Keith and Haley, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins who loved him dearly.
