Bob Peacock
SEPTEMBER 18, 1955 - DECEMBER 5, 2015
Bob was not only my friend and neighbor for over 50 years, but he was my
brother that I never had because I grew up with twin sisters and I was a
brother to Bob because he grew up with 1 sister. We had each other’s
back for those 50 years and after he passed away so suddenly, I knew his
involvement with the chamber was extraordinary. When Barry called me
and told me about the DWTS, I couldn’t leave my brother hanging with an
incomplete fund-raiser. I later found out that his wife Diane asked to have
me step in for him as well, so together Diane and I will continue his
passion for the Dubuque Symphony and the DWTS.
Bob was bigger than life. To me, he was a gentle man with a big heart
and would not hesitate to help anybody in need. He learned that from his
parents who were my second set of parents as well. We had so many
memorable moments together and he truly loved Dubuque. He would
have been the last guy to shut out the lights when Dubuque was struggling
in the 80’s. Our community lost an Ambassador, the Chamber lost a
supportive friend, Diane lost a dedicated husband, Clint and Emily lost a
precious parent, Owen lost a proud Grandpa, and I lost a brother.
