Bruce Dicker ’74

Bruce died March 20, 2016, in Tucson, Ariz. He was our beloved longtime Reunions chairman.

Born Aug. 5, 1952, in Detroit, Bruce grew up in Wooster, Ohio, before moving to Pottstown, Pa. After Princeton and the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Bruce practiced architecture at Keyes, Condon & Florance in Washington, D.C., and at JSA Architects in Portsmouth, N.H., where he was managing partner. A visionary designer, Bruce combined business expertise and exceptional personal qualities.

In the Princeton Chapel Fellowship and later at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Portsmouth, where his memorial service was held May 7, 2016, many benefited from Bruce’s kindness, encouragement, and deep faith. He helped many organizations, including the Strawbery Banke Museum, Berwick Academy, and the Birchtree Center, which is dedicated to youths with autism.

Bruce left a long record of service to the University, co-founding Tiger Camp during Reunions, and with the Princeton Club of New Hampshire. Our reunions rocked thanks to his capable, cheerful leadership. He knew how to deliver — with grace, humor, and unflappable calm.

He is survived by his children, Gabriel and Christian; former wife Tinka Pritchett; brother Art; sister Mary Sekaquaptewa Righter; and other family members. The class offers condolences to them all.
