Peter Kricken Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bradley Funeral Home - Marlton on Mar. 3, 2026.
Kricken, Peter J. 'Junior', of Gibbsboro, passed away at home surrounded by his family, on March 1, 2026. He was 83. He was the beloved husband of 58 years of Rose M. Kricken 'Sis' (nee Mariner). Loving father of Cheryl L. Ross. Dearly loved Pop-Pop of Tyler Ross (Kristin) and Jessica Crowe (Gary) and great grandfather of James Peter Ross. He is also lovingly survived by his brothers in law; Bill (Kathy) Mariner, the late John Mariner and Frank (Tina) Bialecki and his dear nieces and nephews. Special thank you to his nephew, Boo, who took care of Aunt Sis and Uncle Jr along the way. Pete was born and raised in South Philly and was a graduate of Bishop Neumann High School class of 1961. He met and married Rose Kricken, and they lived in Kresson where they raised their daughter, Cheryl. Pete worked hard as a truck driver for Schmidt's and Miller beer and enjoyed coming home to spend time with his family and watch TV. He loved cars and car shows, playing softball for the Petitt's Arco team, spending summers in Ocean City, NJ and cheering on the Eagles when they were winning and reminding them they were bums when losing; a true Philly sports fan! In accordance with his wishes, there will be no services. If desired, please make a donation in Pete/Jr's memory to the charity of your choice.
