We saw Ken and Shirley many many times during the growing season and always received great advice and laughter. Have missed them both since they sold Peck’s.

Shirley: Really sorry to hear about Ken's death. He was a character in high school and it looks like he never changed. You two and your extended family were wonderful contributors to CR. He will be missed. Big hugs to you.

Deepest sympathies to our childhood friends Brett, Sara, and Shirley. Loved sitting around the campfire as a child with you all singing songs and watching all the 'grown-ups' be goofy. I'll never forget the many trips to the nursery to see you, and how you made the world a little greener. :) Blessings and peace to you all as you mourn and remember.

Condolences to my childhood family friends Shirley, Brett, and Sara. Many fond memories growing up with Ken and you guys in the neighborhood. Indian Guides, camping, a trip to Wisconsin to watch the Hawkeyes play the Badgers (Hayden Fry years) and just hanging out at each other's houses. Ken always made the times together a lot of fun. Hope you all are doing well.

My condolences to you Shirley and family. . . I was so sad to hear of Ken passing to the great beyond. Loved our times together as either Ken or Shirley coached our kiddos & nephews. We always could depend on you both as well as your staff to never steer us wrong as we inquired about our garden specimens, fixes or problems. We all will miss Ken's whitt and company but not as much as you, his family. May he rest in peace waiting for you to be by his side. Prayers and ((Hugs)) for you all.

Ken and I were best friends during high school. What a rascal he was! He made me laugh so much! He blended the humor with realism and a mind of his own! Loved the Guy! So sorry Shirley. May you find peace in this time from friends and family.

Shirley and family. When I got Todd's note about Ken's passing, I was surprised. Vic and I so enjoyed visiting with the two of you at INLA conventions.
Guess we never know how long we have on this earth, but we do know that nurserymen (people) are a great bunch of people with long, strong friendships. God bless you all in this time.

Society lost an accomplished man who enjoyed his many selfless contributions to others. As is the case in the current realm, the Peckosh family are comforted knowing he has now passed into the next realm where his concerns and gifts will continue to benefit others.

Shocked to read of Ken's passing! He was such a great guy! Working for him and the rest of the family was a joy, something you can't say about everyone! Ken was always fun to be with no matter what we were doing including working Hog Wild Days or ringing the Red Kettle Bell! Sympathies to all.

I remember Ken standing proudly by his station at Peck's season after season. I loved the way he teased me, treated his customers and ran his business. He was an absolute gem.
Sending condolences and love to the entire Peckosh family.
