R. L. "Pete" V Bryan, 98, of Phx, died June 9, 2001.
He was born on August 2, 1902 in El Reno, Oklahoma.
He is the beloved son of Soule and Sallie Bryan, brother to Jack and Ernest Bryan and Annie Martin, father to Katherine Williams who proudly served in the South Pacific during World War II and Jimmie Bryan only Phoenician to win Indianapolis 500, all have preceded him in death.

Pete, who was named after the family mule due to his stubbornness, started collecting soda bottles at an early age. In his teenage years, he raced and repaired motorcycles.

He then went to work for Goodyear Aircraft as Firechief, moving to assistant fire chief for the Metropolitan Fire Dept. and then retired.

Poppy will be missed and thought of everyday by each life, he touched.
