PEACOCK DUNDAS GRANT Pittsburgh native and Greenville business leader, Dundas Grant Peacock died on December 31, 2015, at the age of 77. The eldest child of Scottish immigrants, Grant was the first in his family to attend Ohio Wesleyan University where he was followed by his three siblings. After Ohio Wesleyan, Grant successfully earned his C.P.A. closely followed by his J.D. from Dickinson School of Law. Although an accountant and lawyer by training, Grant was first and foremost an entrepreneur. The consummate "dealmaker", Grant successfully completed over 75 different business transactions over the course of his career. The opportunities ranged from natural gas ventures in Western Pennsylvania to Weight Watchers North America and entrepreneurial endeavors in the Far East. Being a man of principal, Grant pursued his belief in "what's right" all the way to the United States Supreme Court where his landmark business case was won by his close friend David Freeman. During his thirty years as a business leader in Pittsburgh, Grant valued giving back. He served on the Executive Committee of The Pittsburgh Symphony's Board of Trustees as well as the Boards of Allegheny General Hospital, Shadyside Hospital, Fox Chapel Country Day School, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. When he transferred his energies to the Greenville area 20 years ago, Grant dove in with great passion. He mentored promising young leaders for the Liberty Fellowship and served as a Trustee of the St. Francis Hospital Foundation. His belief in the importance of the Arts led him to serve on the boards of both The Greenville Symphony and The Peace Center for the Performing Arts. Finally, a big believer in the power of ideas, Grant enjoyed his seven years of service as a Trustee of Wofford College. Retirement was not in Grant's vocabulary. At the time of his death, he was enjoying the challenges and opportunities provided by 98 East McBee, a real-estate venture that he envisioned and saw through to fruition in the heart of downtown Greenville. Grant measured his success by the positive impact that he made on others and the friends he collected along the way. He drew great joy from helping his sons and young, visionary entrepreneurs realize their dreams. His generous spirit was felt by many individuals from Pittsburgh to China and points in-between. Ultimately, Grant's greatest achievement was his "clan", the three sons he raised with Nancy, his wife of 48 years; Bradley D. Peacock (Tracy), Douglas G. Peacock, and Craig W. Peacock (Yun). He also took great joy in his grandchildren, Tasker, George, Aly, Sam, Ben, and Emery. Grant played the "game of life" with optimism, a sense of humor, a creative spirit, character and the comfort of knowing that, in thick or thin, he did it his way. There will be a memorial service for Grant Peacock at Westminster Presbyterian Church at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, January 8, 2016. The family looks forward to receiving visitors following the service. Those who wish to honor Grant may send donations either to Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2310 Augusta St., Greenville, SC 29605 or The Peace Center Endowment Fund, 101 Broad St., Greenville, SC 29601.
