Born in Newark, New Jersey, to Stanley and Mary (Lorenz) Jaworski, Peter attended St. Benedict’s Prep and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the Newark College of Engineering (NJIT) in 1969 and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1976. Throughout his career, Peter specialized in Telecommunications Engineering and successfully proposed, managed, engineered, installed, tested, and maintained DOD and commercial SATCOM and RF systems, including projects for NASA, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, and state government. He held a range of leadership and consulting roles with government agencies and organizations including, but not limited to, the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command at Fort Monmouth, AT&T Bell Laboratories, RCA, Computer Sciences Corporation, Stanford Telecom, Harris Corporation, Galaxy Scientific Corporation, Aeronautical Radio Inc., and the Garden State Parkway Authority. Among Peter’s distinguished achievements was his leadership of the engineering team responsible for drafting the 1987 technical specification for the upgraded U.S.–U.S.S.R. “Hot Line” Direct Communications Link, a milestone that substantially strengthened the system’s reliability and capacity. Commissioned through the U.S. Army Officer Candidate School in 1971, Peter served as Communications Training Officer with the 78th Division (USAR) in Sea Girt for three years and was a member of American Legion Post 0141, Atlantic Highlands. Music was a constant throughout Peter’s life, a lifelong companion. A professional singer and multi-instrumentalist, he played the piano, accordion, and drums. Peter was a member of the Musicians’ Guild of Essex County, Local No. 16, A.F. of M. for 31 years and a life member of the American Federation of Musicians (Local No. 399 Monmouth and Ocean Counties). He began performing at the age of 16 with his father’s group, Stas Jaworski and His Orchestra, entertaining Polish-American communities across the Northeast. Later, Peter led his own band, Peter Janus Music, playing weddings and private events throughout the tri-state area, and also performed with the local act Bokenjo. He had a deep affection for big-band and jazz standards. Peter and his wife, Suzanne (Mitchell) Jaworski, made their home in Oceanport for 52½ years. He took special pleasure in the company of their four Siberian Huskies over the years. Peter is survived by his wife, Suzanne; daughter Andrea Jaworski and her children Anaiez, Ben, and Adreiana Martinez; daughter Laura Jaworski and her husband Kent Porter; son Peter Jaworski Jr. and his partner Heidi Hautemaki and sons William, Karl Peter, and Vincent Jaworski.
