Full obituary may be viewed at www.fryfuneralhome.com. Ed was one of eight children born to Charles E. and Maurine E (Chapman) Peck. Ed was born on June 19, 1944 in Iowa City, Iowa. He attended the Tipton Community School, graduating in 1962. Ed worked in the trucking business for fifty plus years, dispatching and managing multiple companies across the United States. He was an avid fan of football (particularly the Iowa Hawkeyes), baseball, and NASCAR (making an annual trip with his brothers to Michigan to watch the Michigan 500). He enjoyed golfing, fishing, going to the casinos and playing cards. He spent many hours reading and had a large library. He never married but loved his many nieces and nephews dearly, as was evident from all the pictures that were placed all around his home and always was there for all their important events. Ed is survived by a sister, Sandra Sturdy, sister-in-law, Darlene Peck, brothers, Richard (Maureen) Peck, Donald (Sue) Peck and Thomas Peck. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister, Judith Rife and brothers, Dennis and Robert Peck and brother-in-law, Keith Sturdy.
