Some Hae Bop
Jimmy Gene Peck-Bop
The only man to find pure joy in incomprehensible Scottish poetry and fart jokes. That’s
who he was. The mind of a scholar and the soul of a puppy; brilliant and playful and
brilliantly playful.
On 4/24/2019 we lost both the scholar and the puppy.
Jim “Bop” had many talents and passions in life, but his greatest accomplishment was
marrying his wife Janet 64 years ago! He adored her and was chivalrous to the very
end. Jim and Janet will forever go down as one of the great love stories.
Jim is also survived by his best friend and sister Patricia Louetta Black (Peck), three
children Tim, Patty and Rob Peck, Son-in-law and drinking/cigar buddy J.J, 3
Grandchildren Christopher, James and Robin Peck and 2 great-grandchildren Penelope
and Lincoln Peck.
Bop will be remembered as a great actor, playwright, tennis player, cook, lover of life,
skeptic, husband, father, pool hustler, popcorn eater, joke teller, hater of plastic ware
and shirts with words.
Jim was a man lightyears ahead of his era and those that got to know him know how
special he truly was. While we say goodbye to him now we know impact he had on all
of our lives will never fade.
And sae the lord be thankit.

    You are an inspiration to me. Your playful spirit. Your laughter. Your dry intelligent wit. I do not yet feel your absence because you feel so near. I love you.

  2. Noah Black says:

    Uncle Jimmy was one of the most amazing people.
    He was an inviting spirit that in bodied and cultivated inspiration and others. The world was better because of him. And God has taken one of is angels back.

    Love you uncle Jimmy.

    I will always remember your wonderful sense of humor and how you could make me laugh and smile with your stories like “My Brother Got All The Lumps”. You were the best…Love you Uncle Jimmy.

    I loved acting with Jim Peck in “Thieves’ Carnival” at Westminster and really appreciated him as a teacher for assigning “The Nature of Prejudice” as required reading.
