Bruce was hard-working, committed to his family, and never missed church. Bruce enjoyed being with his family, they traveled and had many adventures. He enjoyed camping, cooking, and just enjoyed life. He loved laughing, being goofy, and was a TEASER! Bruce was a good listener and always saw the positive. He always saw the good in people and taught them to forgive. He was a man of few words, teaching many of his lessons by example. And although he often worked multiple jobs to support his family, he still found time to be a Cub Scout Den Leader. Bruce enjoyed building model cars, traveling, collecting VHS movies. He was a master at the Claw Crane Machine and had a bedroom full of stuffed dolls that he won. He also enjoyed listening to bands such as War, Jimi Hendrix, Earth, Wind and Fire, James Brown, and Donald Byrd.
