Wilson Joseph "Bill" Peck, lll

Shreveport, LA - Wilson Joseph Peck, III, "Bill", passed away peacefully at home in Baltimore, MD, Sunday, February 25, 2018, after a brief illness, his wife Mary lovingly at his side. He faced death in the same manner he embraced life - with humor, thoughtfulness, dignity, and concern for his family above all else.

A memorial service celebrating Bill's life will be held at 11:00 am Saturday, March 10, 2018, at Rose-Neath Marshall Street Chapel. Reverend Chris Young of South Bossier Baptist Church will officiate. The family will receive friends Friday, March 9, 2018 from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm at the funeral home.

Born March 29, 1944, in Orlando, FL, Bill was raised in Lafayette, LA, surrounded by a large extended family who instilled in him early a deep faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He was active in his church in Lafayette and attended school there. He officially met his sweetheart, Evelyn Kay McMahon, in church, but he enjoyed telling the story of first falling for her in the hallways of Lafayette High after he "glimpsed her fantastic legs." Their love story endured for 49 years.

Bill, an accomplished upright bass player, majored in music at USL, where he starred in numerous musical theater productions. He carried his love of music throughout his life and passed it on to his children. Bill and Kay married in 1965. While living in Dallas, TX, Bill served four years in the US National Guard. After starting a family, they returned to South Louisiana, where Bill began his career in Advertising with Sears Department Stores.

An exceptionally gifted creative and copy writer, Bill excelled in the advertising industry, becoming the Advertising Manager for the Bealls department stores. That position brought the family to Shreveport. He later became a partner at Drescher Peck Advertising, followed by his own agency, Drescher Peck Galloway and Hudson. Bill moved on to great success at JB Cable Ads and Pabst Creative Communications, where he ran the victorious election campaign for Shreveport City Marshal Jimmy Dove. Marshal Dove offered Bill a position with the Marshal's office, where he proudly served the city and citizens of Shreveport under Dove and Marshal Charlie Caldwell for 18 years until his retirement. Bill was so well-respected that Tuesday, December 1, 2015 was declared "Wilson Joseph Peck Day" in the City of Shreveport during a retirement ceremony and proclamation from the Office of the Mayor Ollie S. Tyler.

To know Bill was to love him. He was an affectionate, loving father and friend. He exuded cool, charm, and warmth, and his wit and wisdom will be irreplaceable in the lives of his family. He was an avid collector through the years, becoming an expert in such varied fields as antique cars, vintage furniture and glassware, Volkswagens, and wrist watches. The friends he made in those groups, as well as in his career, remained some of his most cherished relationships.

Bill's favorite role, however, was family man. Utterly devoted to his three children, he was a constant source of laughter, integrity, and strength for them and his grandchildren, who adored their "Grandaddy." He spoke often of being blessed with two great loves in his life; Kay, who passed in 2014, and Mary, his wife of 2 years. Bill and Mary referred to their life together as "an adventure", and Mary lovingly cared for him during his time in hospice until his death.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Wilson Joseph and Evelyn Peck, as well as his beloved wife, Kay. Left to cherish the precious memories of their lives with Bill are his wife, Mary; daughter Melissa Figgins; son Christopher Peck and his wife, Shannon; and daughter Leslie Peck and fiancé Stephen Failey. He is also survived by grandchildren Leslie Parnell and her husband, Aaron; Seth Figgins; Julia Figgins; Camilla Peck; Ella and Zoe Moss; Sophia Grimm; Sierra and Sabrina Esparza; and great-grandson Luke Parnell. Survivors also include step-children Theresa Crunk and husband, Dan; Daniel Holbrook; Michael Holbrook and wife, Michan; and six grandchildren. Bill also adored and was loved by his brother and sister-in-law, Kelley and Charlotte Peck, sister Virginia Peck, and his many nieces and nephews.

The entire family wishes to extend our deepest thanks to the dedicated and compassionate staffs of Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Neuro-ICU and Gilchrest Hospice, both in Baltimore, MD. To friends, family, and coworkers, your love, support, and prayers during this difficult time have been invaluable.

In lieu of flowers, we suggest donations be made to the church or charity of your choice.

See you on the other side, Daddy.

    Hello all:

    According to her obituary, Lori passed away 8/21. Yesterday.

    She battled breast cancer and never wanted anyone really to know. It looked like she had beat it back, but General Cancer won. She was upset when she couldn't do the birthday.

    Sherm and I must have emailed each other back and forth millions of times.. She was such a sweet, giving person. She would always ask my opinion on things. I lost track of her when my life went off track and was deeply saddened when I learned of the return. We were on several watch forums together. I would get these emails. "So Whatdya Think?"


    She loved birds, chocolate and The Walking Dead.

    May her memory be eternal.



    Thank you for the greater detail. I remember Sherm fondly in her occasional postings on WG, but did not have any kind of personal relationship with her. Nevertheless, I feel we are all diminished by her absence. So, again, thank you for sharing this information with the rest of us.
    Richard

    I think I remember her. She lived in southern California and had a son or two? I believe she had a place close to Camp Pendleton. I remember her saying how young the Marines looked . It was in a sad way. She had a Peacick she was very attached to. She was very friendly and had reached out to me and others especially with health issues. I am angry that the collapse of wg separated me her and other friends. Some of you are here but others are lost until we meet again when we are called home.

    Rest in peace Sherm God loves you.


    She lived in Philly, Paul. She had step children, but none of her own.
    You may be thinking of red ryder.

    God you are right! I do remember Sherm. I am non the less sad nor less angry about us all being cast into the wind with the collapse of wg. Thanks for correcting me.

    I posted in the other thread because I didn't see this one first.
    No matter: our dear sherm was worthy of more than one post. Yeah, she was sherminator here, but people best knew her as Sherm.

    For years we exchanged emails first about watches, then about everything under the sun.
    We discussed women's watches, exchanged forum gossip and reminisced about pets. And yeah, we even debated. Sometimes fiercely.
    I went through some incredible stuff and she always tried to cheer me up. Likewise, cancer, Lori had faced some serious obstacles (apart from cancer) and that--not her age--made me weep when I learned that she was gone.

    She loved birds, flowers (she was trained in horticulture), chocolate and The Walking Dead.

    She spent a total of 21,663 days on the planet. Now she sleeps forever.

    Rest in peace, my friend

    You will be missed.

Steve, as you know, I've been very quick to state that WIT is "a safe, well lighted place" in which to follow our Horological Habits, all without having to worry about ridicule, vulgarity or attacks on one's self or one's watch selections. You've always maintained our site as such, and given us a true home where we're able to enjoy any and all watches, whether they start at ten bucks or a hundred thousand smacks. That dedication and genuine concern has really shown through here with the crash of the site and your subsequent rebuilding efforts. I think I can speak for many of us here when I say thank you for bringing us out of the fog and back into the clear that WIT has always enjoyed during its five-plus years of operation. We stand with you, mon ami!

:outstand:
 
Steve,

It's nice just being able to be here under the circumstances...
 
Steve, first let me thank you for all the hard work in getting the site back up. I know for me WatchinTyme is an important part of my daily routine. Not having it available for 2 or 3 days make it solely missed.

It appears that the site is available 24/7 in which case this may not be possible, but my suggestion or wish is that when you encounter software upgrade problems that the site be restored with the last system back up until bugs can be worked out with the new software. I recalled this problem occuring more than once, with software upgrades with a former watch forum.

Just a thought.
 
Capthawk I agree with you completely! 3 backups where taken before the software update began. It went smoothly on a test site. The problem came applying it to the live site. I had so much custom code entered over the years hidden in the code that it crossed read somehow and corrupted the database. This occurred even while attempting to restore the previous version to bring the forum back online. This is a fresh install of the software and with this install I am not going to be coding extras into the software that were not originally designed for it to hopefully keep this from ever happening again.
I do still have a backup taken right before the site was turned off for the update and it is being worked on to make it readable we hope. If that can be accomplished I will make it live on the forum through a link for archived forum information so all previous data and post will be available to view and search.
