Richard G. Peak, Sr., 81, of Udall, Kansas, passed away Sunday evening, August 26, 2018 at his home.
Born July 8, 1937 in Atchison, Kansas, he was the son of Asa Warden and Edna (Clark) Peak. He was raised and received his education in Atchison, graduating from Atchison High School in 1955.

They made their home in Udall and Richard began working for Cessna. He later began farming for Thompson Farms where he remained for over 40 years, retiring in January 2018. Mrs. Peak preceded him in death on April 14, 2010. Richard enjoyed restoring tractors, gunsmithing, tinkering around in his shop, playing with his dog, Sweetie, and spending time with his family.
