Ron Peck

Ron was born in 1941 in Syracuse, New York. Ron attended Lafayette School District before his family moved to Kingston in 1958, where he attended Silver Lake Regional High School. While holding down a full-time job, Ron began his own business, Capeway Welding, in 1968 out of his basement. In 1969, he left his job to focus solely on his business which flourished. In 1985 he built his current shop in the Plymouth Industrial Park. In 1987, he purchased New England Propeller, Inc.

Ron’s work ethic and ability to think outside of the box to problem solve were second to none. He leaves his wife of 61 years, Alice Hardy Peck; his sister Nancy Merry and husband Robert and his children Douglas Peck and wife Lori; Sally Balch and husband Ken; Kelly Clink and husband Clarence; and Alison Sopher and husband Sam as well as nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
