Not sure what to say?

Pee Wee was my first Boeing mentor as I joined the manufacturing-operations family in 1967 as a young, green and inexperienced industrial engineer. Through his patient teaching and coaching, my career at Boeing lasted 35 years and I have been indebted to his early guidance and continued friendship throughout the last 45 years.

Clarence was a wonderful man. I worked with him for several months & he always greeted me and my co workers with a smile. He will be greatly missed by many. & I am so greatful that I got to have him in my life as long as I did.

Jeanette & Family, I am so sorry for your loss.

Pee Wee was a terrific role model for all of us who were lucky enough to have worked around him. I am sure that is the case for his family and personal friends.

May the days ahead be filled with wonderful memories. May you find strength in the knowledge that so many loved and respected your husband and father.

My condolences to the Nelson family.

Pee Wee was a great Boeing guy. As an engineer who had many occasions to need "extra" factory help, I always found Pee Wee to be at the ready to help. My condolences to his family for its loss.

I will remember Pee Wee as a man with a gentle heart and great sense of humor. He was part of a very special group of people in my days at Boeing. My sympathy to the Nelson family.

Janette and Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of grief.
I have many memories talking with Pee Wee about airplane issues and his advice on what to do. He would show up in my office, OK Thomas what kind of problems do we have today.
He was one of the great senior managers at Boeing and we will miss him dearly.

Pee Wee was a good friend and mentor. It was our pleasure to know and work with him at Boeing. Our condolences to the family.

A good man has been called into eternity! "Pewee" was a loving, happy,generous man and our lives have been blessed knowing him.
God's peace to Jeanette and the family.
