He worked as a lineman and foreman for Burnip & Simms Cable Communications for many years and later worked in a flower shop in Florida. Pete was a member of the American Legion Post 111 of Bluffton and also the Bluffton Moose Lodge 242. He loved to write poetry and spend time with his friends.
Survivors include five sisters, Carol (Larry) Studabaker, Judy Grimm, Linda Shane, Jean (Ron) Bowman, and Betty (John) Kizer, all of Bluffton, along with several nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Pete was preceded in death by three brothers, Robert "Don" Bricker, Dick Bricker, and Jeff Bricker; a sister, Geraldine Niblick; and a nephew, Allen Bricker.
