I will always remember Pete's quit wit and always had a smile for everyone. I missed him and Vivian since they moved from Clear Lake. My condolences to Henry, Dick and families. I'm so sorry for your loss but you have so many wonderful memories of good times with your parents.

Dear Bruns family
I was Pete and Vivian’s next door neighbor when they lived at Clearlake. Vivian sported lots of leg warmers teaching exercise classes and Pete worked for IBM. Henry was a sparky teen and Dick was in middle school. Pete was a very devoted husband to Vivian and father to his boys.
Pete did everything well. I recall Vivian insisting on him helping her rehang all my pictures on my freshly painted walls. (I needed lots of help back then). Pete was very reluctant but stood up to the challenge! Thanks again Pete!
I have fond memories of Pete cooking for many family events and each year cooking for Vivian’s Christmas gatherings. I was thrilled to attend every year and Pete was always there being a great host along with Henry. He always enjoyed being a BIT sarcastic to me when he spoke of FSU and Buddy and then my boys attended FSU!
I will always consider Pete a valued friend and a good neighbor. I’m not able to be there on Tuesday as I watch my grandchildren but I send my love and condolences to all of you.
