In Memoriam: David Peckham (1927 - 2008)

David Peckham emigrated to Australia with his family in 1962. He worked as a consulting mechanical engineer for Merz & McLellan and Partners for many years and on many projects. Notable among these were bulk iron-ore terminals at Dampier and Port Hedland, container-handling cranes at the Port of Melbourne and cooling towers of the Loy Yang power stations in Victoria.

Upon retirement from Merz & McLellan, David remained active and widely respected in the Profession, founding his own consulting practice.

He passed away peacefully on 13 December, leaving his devoted wife Susan, three children and four grand-children.
