Couldn't find anything not paywalled, but https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2024-...or-jpl-has-died

Pete was the chairman for the first MS98 design review we had. We didn't pass completely but didn't deserve to, and the instruments turned out better for it.

From the LA Times obituary:
QUOTE
“He raised the IQ in whatever room he was in. Not just because he was brilliant and had a diverse set of interests,” his family said in a statement. “Rather, he made everyone around him smarter because they wanted to be better in front of him.”
