I first met Peter when he began working for Boeing in our Washington D.C. office and have worked with him in various capacities since then. Most recently he was a part of our Europe Business Development team. He was a very thoughtful, intelligent and hardworking gentlemen, coworker and friend. I will miss him and offer my sympathy to his family. Sincerely, Cindy Malawy

I worked with Peter shortly after the Boeing/Rockwell merger. He was an asset to our company and to those around him. He will be missed.
