Executive Committee and honorary chair of the Development, Alumni and
Public Affairs Committee, died on June 15, 2002. He is survived by Ruth,

Karl was a charter member of the Entrepreneurial Studies Program Advisory
Committee of the College. In 1992, he received the Muhlenberg College
Alumni Association Achievement Award for service to the College. In
May of 2000, he was the first recipient of the Robert C. Horn Award,
an honor given every 10 years for outstanding service and long-term
dedication to Muhlenberg College.
Chip Hurd ’86, associate dean of students, summarized the Muhlenberg
community’s great affection and admiration for Karl in a heartfelt
eulogy: “To know Karl was to love him…He was a giant of
a man – an oracle if you will, who was revered by all. He was
a pillar of strength, a beacon of shining light, and a leader who commanded
the trust and respect of everyone. One of my colleagues liked to refer
to Karl as ‘E.F. Hutton.’ Because, when Karl Peckmann spoke,
people listened.”
