His main passion was participating in all types of target shooting matches - pistol, rifle, and shotgun. He was able to enjoy his hobby until very late in life.

Bruce was the perfect example of an honest, compassionate, and hard-working man. He led by example. He was a great son, brother, father, husband, uncle, cousin, grandfather, great-grandfather, and a friend to many. He lived his life to the fullest. He took everything in stride and made the best of every situation. He also had a wonderful sense of humor that everyone around him cherished. He will be greatly missed.
