I was a lifelong close friend on Sid Peck - I have many pleasant memories of him - he was a truly fine person - Stanley Taube

Our deepest sympathies and condolences to my Uncle Phil, and the rest of the family for the loss of a wonderfully kind, warm, and loving man. Our hearts ache for Phil, and the friends and family whom Sid loved and cherished, as well as the many students who were taught and inspired by him. It is clear he impacted so many lives in myriad ways, and I will always cherish my memories of Sid. I remember introducing my wife to Phil and Sid several years ago. He talked with my wife warmly and enthusiastically as though he’d known her for years. His gentle soul will forever be missed.

May He Rest In Peace. 
With love, 
Paul, April and Gabriella MacLennan

Our deepest condolences to Phillip and family for the loss of a kind, determined, gentle and loving human being. 
We will remember fondly the many neighbourly conversations over the years and a concert where Sid played with his Klezmer group. 
Peter & Magda

My deepest sympathies, Phil.  I can’t tell you how much I looked forward to seeing   you and Sid during my Toronto visits.  I have very fond memories of Sid.  May he Rest In Peace.

Sidney will be missed by many people.  We enjoyed his presence since 1988 at our breakfast get togethers.  A fond memory:  Sidney, Phil, Lucy and myself dancing to The Supremes.  

Our deepest condolences to Phillip and Sid's family.  Dave and I always enjoyed seeing Sid at family visits and being able to sit down and have a conversation with him.  He always had great stories of family history.  We remember him as a warm and kind man.  He certainly will be missed.

Love,
Kayla and Dave

Our deepest sympathy to Philip and to Sid's Family .
Pete and Wayne from 980

My heart aches for Sid's loved ones.
Phil, I am thinking of you at this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy goes out to those who loved Sid, and to those whom Sid loved. It is clear that Sid's life had a wide rippling effect on many other lives.

My deep condolences to the family and friends of our dear colleague, Sid. I was a young faculty member in 1984, just after the Charter of Rights and Freedoms arrived in Canada, and for years Sid's office was just 2 doors down from mine. It was an exciting time for all of us, and after Sid retired I inherited the Civil Liberties course he created at Osgoode Hall. And for years after he retired, Sid loyally returned to the law school for holiday lunches and faculty gatherings, as well as conferences and seminars. I was always so happy to see him and was sorry not to see him in recent years. I would like the family to know how much I learned from Sid and others who were senior to me, and how fond I was of him. I am sorry for your loss and would like you to know that Sid will be missed but always remembered. 
Jamie Cameron (myself retired and emerita professor) 

Sidney's passing is a tremendous loss for  the many people whose lives he touched.  He was a special man who was gentle, kind and compassionate to his very core. I will always cherish my wonderful memories of times shared with Sid. His memory lives on in all the hearts that were privileged to know and love Sid. 

Sid was a true gentleman and scholar whose kindly smile brought cheer to all around. With his wide-ranging intellect, he always had something helpful to offer about one’s research even where it was outside his main field of interest. Sharing reminiscences at end of year lunches after his retirement was ever enjoyable. He will be long remembered.

Corrigenda: in my condolences I meant conscientious  ( and not contentious!) secular Jew. Sorry for not proofreading. My apology .CAN THIS BE CORRECTED?

Resending: I was saddened to hear of Sid death. I was his colleague between 1977 and 1995 and kept in touch with him thereafter. He was a dear soul, wonderful colleague, a committed fighter for civil rights, and a contentious secular Jew. The world is a worse place without him

I am a former PhD student of Osgoode, and one of the receivers of Sidney Peck Graduate Law Scholarship, and had the great honor to meet and talk with Professor Peck him few times. 

Professor Peck was indeed an outstanding personality with a wonderful heart! May the Almighty God grant him peace!
It’s hard to lose someone like him, and even harder that we can’t all be together to say good-bye. We want you to know we’re with you in spirit—now and in the days and weeks ahead.

I offer my deep heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.  

His gentle soul will always be in our hearts.

I was a colleague of Sid's for many years.  He was a good friend, whose wry sense of humour often brought a smile to my face.  We lost touch in recent years, but I will miss him greatly.

Dear family of Sid Peck
Sid was a good friend and a wonderful colleague at Osgoode Hall Law School. We worked together on the Library Committee and other projects, and he was always thoughtful and kind. He was also a colleague of my spouse, Brian Bucknall, before I joined the faculty at Osgoode, and both of us always enjoyed seeing Sid at Convocation dinners and other legal events. Please know that we are thinking of him fondly and send you our sincere sympathy.
Best wishes too
Mary Jane Mossman and Brian Bucknall 

I was greatly saddened to learn of Sid's passing.  While he had retired by the time I joined Osgoode in 2000, we crossed paths fairly often and I much enjoyed our exchanges.  He remained so interested in what others were doing and in learning in general.  As our current Graduate Program Director, I would also like to express Osgoode's deep appreciation for the very generous scholarship endowed in his honour that, each year, has enabled us to provide extra support to a talented PhD or Research LLM student.  My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Craig Scott, Professor of Law, Osgoode

It is very sad to learn of Sidney's passing.  He was a cherished Osgoode colleague of mine from the moment I joined the faculty until his retirement. His friendship and his  wise and witty remarks about life, law and the law school itself were a frequent source  of joy.  When he felt it necessary to be critical, he did not hesitate to express his views but always did so in a gentle and whimsical manner.  His appreciation and, indeed, his affection for his colleagues was always detectible beneath the surface of the disagreement on important points. I know well that his statistical studies of Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence were a matter of great interest to members of the Court and, I have no doubt, to many others.  I am sure that many, like me, learned much from Sidney.  I will miss him dearly.

I was very saddened to learn  of Sidney's passing away.  He and I met MANY, MANY times, starting with our early education. He was a very bright and considerate person. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.  Stanley Taube

I was saddened to learn of Sidney's passing. Although, I joined Osgoode some years after his retirement, I met him at various events beginning the year 2000 until fairly recently and he always made a point to chat with me and she his memories of Osgoode, in his kind and warm way. He will be missed. 

I counted Sid among my more treasured colleagues at Osgoode. He was unfailingly courteous. Well-read and with a profound grounding in the history of soical justice and ideals, it was marvellous to spend time with him. He respected others and different views but, despite his low-key, reserved manner, would speak up if he thought a wrong was being done or a bad policy being pursued. His work on jurimetrics was an academic illustration of his life-long commitment to speak truth to power. And he could be very funny! I will miss him. I extend my condolences to those closest to him.

Harry Glasbeek

Sidney  was a friend from the glory  days of Osgoode,  a fine scholar who pioneered the use of empirical measures to explain and predict the outcome of court decisions.    He  work closely with colleagues in Political Science as well.   Sidney was always a pleasure to work with, argue with and just be with - a kindly and courteous person with a wicked wit.   

My deepest condolences. As a staff member, I always enjoyed seeing Professor Peck at the annual Convocation Dinners and sharing lively conversations with him. He was unfailingly courteous and engaging.  I am sure that he was a wonderful mentor to the law students during his teaching career at Osgoode Hall Law School. 

My sincerest condolences. I remember Sid as a great law school professor with a dry wit and a sharp mind.
