Peter Yee passed away peacefully at age 82 on Sunday evening, December 23, 2012 in Bellevue Washington. Peter was born in Albany, New York, in 1930 to Willie Yee and Lois She, the youngest of 4 children. He graduated from Garfield High School in 1949 and from the U of Washington in 1954. After serving in the U.S. Army as a 1st Lieutenant, Peter married Lonnie Mar in 1960. Peter began his career at Boeing and in 1964 became a purchasing agent for Rocket Research.
