Storke Funeral Home Obituaries

Peter Michael Beck passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on 18 July, 2023. He grew up as an “Air Force Brat” and followed the family tradition after his graduation from UCLA. He began his Air Force career in America’s heartland as a Crew Commander on a Titan II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. He branched out into Management, Budget, and Cost Analysis with tours in Turkey, Italy, and Germany. He retired from the Pentagon and became a master facilitator helping groups worldwide both large and small to tackle major issues and problems. He was particularly adept at applying automated tools in the decision process and helping others to do the same. He was an avid boater with amazing curiosity about the world around him. His latest passion was the potential of Artificial Intelligence.  He is much loved and will be sorely missed by his wife of 57 years. He was a wonderful husband, brother, uncle, brother-in-law, friend, mentor, and colleague and positively touched many lives.  A service will take place in Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.
