Woodstock, CT: Dennis Timothy Peck, 69, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully at home on April 1, 2021 after a period of declining health. Dennis was born in Southbridge on June 29, 1951 to the late Romeo and Rita (Lamothe) Peck. He attended Bartlett High School where he excelled in football, and went on to play in the semi-pro league with the Colonials. He earned his Airframe and Power Plant Maintenance Certification from East Coast Aero Tech, eventually earned his pilot's license and co-owned a float plane with Pierre Servant. Dennis was a talented machinist and founded Wilden Machine Company, which was based at American Optical Corporation.

Dennis later joined Tri-Community Rental as Vice-President/Co-owner, responsible for equipment rental and maintenance. He recently worked at Tractor Supply for several years, and was close to completing bus driver training before becoming ill. Dennis enjoyed flying, fishing, hunting, golfing, cooking, spending time in his vegetable and Dahlia gardens, and vacationing in Maine. He also enjoyed hosting International students who were attending Woodstock Academy, especially Tianan Lin, who lived with them for 4 years until her graduation, and whom he loved like a daughter. They had the same sense of humor and loved cooking and talking about politics and American culture. He was passionate about dog rescue and adopted a total of 6 dogs, leaving behind his buddy Max.
