Pete was born on September 18, 1929, in
Manhattan, Montana, to Hiram P. and Jennie (Oldenburger)
Dyke. He was the seventh of 12 children. Pete
graduated in 1947 from Ellensburg High School
and then attended Simpson Bible College in
Seattle, where he met his wife, Mary Blunt. They
were married on June 29,1951. They made their
first home in Seattle while Pete worked for
Boeing as a template maker. They settled in
Moyie Springs in1959, where Pete worked in the
woods for a short time and also at Continental
Mines. He was later employed by the Moyie River
Lumber Co. until he retired.
He loved building and named his Construction
Company T and E Construction (Trial and Error).
He aided in building his first home in Bonners
Ferry and then fulfilled a dream by building a
home in District 2 . He loved his garden and
trees. His yard always looked beautiful. He also
loved four-wheeling and hunting with his sons
and grandsons.
Pete loved the Lord and taught Sunday school in
the little Moyie Church for a time. He was a
very generous donor to various Christian
charities, such as World Vision and
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
He had a strong faith in God that brought him
through many hardships.
In 2004, Pete's wife Mary passed away. Pete
stayed busy with his gardening and loved going
up to his son's cabin to hunt and spend time
with the "boys."
A few years later, Pete found love again with
Dee Short. She brought back his smile and
brought him much love and happiness. After a
brief courtship of eight years, Pete and Dee
were married on November 23, 2014, in Lewiston,
