We are saddened to announce the passing of our esteemed colleague Peter Fluetsch. Peter served SMACNA-WW for many years in many positions, including president — twice. He founded Sunset Air with his wife, Kathy, in their Tumwater Hill garage in 1976 and grew the business into an inspiring beacon of success in our industry. As his family at Sunset Air notes in their heartfelt tribute, Peter’s “list of accolades and awards extends beyond what any individual should have been able to obtain in 100 lifetimes.” He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on to inspire us all.

Peter Fluetsch’s memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 28 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Lacey.
