Robert Peck, Former CH Town Manager, Dies At 97

CHAPEL HILL - Former Chapel Hill Town Manager Robert Peck passed away on Saturday, February 4, at the age of 97.

 

Bob Peck grew up in Schenectady, NY, but graduated from UNC in 1937 and remained in North Carolina most of his life. After serving in the army, he earned an MPA from UNC and served as manager of several North Carolina cities—including Chapel Hill, from 1961 to 1970, during one of the most tumultuous times in the town’s history.

 

Bob Peck is survived by his wife Elizabeth, his son Richard, three granddaughters and four great-grandchildren. The family is asking for memorial donations to the NC Triangle Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, 133 Fayetteville St., Suite 300, Raleigh NC 27601.
