Peter (Petey) Daniel Brucker passed away peacefully, in the arms of his loved ones. After a decline from the disabling neurological disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, Petey took his last breath as the sun rose on Earth Day, April 22.
Born in Nyack, New York, on Oct. 15,1952, the son of Mildred and Daniel Brucker, Petey was known as a loving and wily child who favored his sense of connection to the earth over being in school. In the spring of 1975, Petey followed his older brother Phil to the Salmon River, where he met Geba Greenberg in 1977 and spent the rest of his life with her. Petey’s sister Donna soon joined them.
Petey dedicated his life to protecting the extraordinary Salmon River watershed. He helped found local organizations including “Salmon River Concerned Citizens” to eliminate the aerial spray of herbicides; “Salmon River Mining Council,” Salmon River Volunteer Fire and Rescue, Klamath Forest Alliance and in 1992 co-founded the Salmon River Restoration Council (SRRC) with Jim Villeponteaux.

I am so sorry for your loss. I always hope that with a fentanyl overdose or something like that, I doubt this is relevant, that smelling salts will revive him/them. (Strong pee on a towel works.)
Then when the person is revived, they reunite with whomever they feel is their genetic family, and the death notice is immediately retracted in any network where it was published.
I knew some Bruckers, I believe, in Saratoga, CA. (95070).
Mrs. Bruckers, if I have the right name, taught English at Redwood Jr. High School.
She was my English teacher. (They later bought a nice parcel near the village of Saratoga, off Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd. I never went to their home, as I recall🦋, but walked by it to and from High School (1972-1976.) I only hope this story helps someone related to this man and his family and friends.
The lot had a narrow, one lane, non asfaulted
Driveway. Mrs. Bruckers, if I have the right name, finally bore a son sometime near them.
If this is the same family, please make sure they get this message.
That period of time, drug use was emerging in the area, their family weren’t like that and didn’t do stuff like that.
As drug use and addiction is rampant in this area (Humboldt County) and you see fit to have this obituary notice,
then in his memory,
Maybe the most important part of this story is:
1. Strong ammonia or real old fashioned smelling salts (nasally), not Naloxone, to revive someone with opiate toxicity.
2. Retract the obituary notice, let the same network know the person recovered to reunite loved ones, biological or not.
Then have a glass of orange juice, chocolate cake or fudge brownies, and a very big bowl of coffee ice cream.
Love to your family, Mrs. Bruckers wherever you are,
Marty (talks too much in class)
Hart.
(Should have gotten drunk more like all of the other normal, experimenting in safe conditions to learn my personal limits while living in a safe home life, real Mom or not.)
Thank you “Aunt Patty and , fake “Mom’s and Dads.)
No pink champagne for me, thank you, it tickles my nose, and puke on the girl in the next bathroom stalls boot, a tiny bit, and she has a major fit.)
The life of supervised 13 year old, bratty, girls.
