Bruce was a devoted family man and passionate vehicle enthusiast. He lived a life where family always came first, leaving a legacy of love and commitment. His true joy was found in restoring vehicles, with a special fondness for his beloved Chevy S10. His skilled hands and dedicated efforts turned every project into a masterpiece, reflecting his commitment to craftsmanship. Beyond the garage, Bruce had a deep connection with nature. His tranquil moments spent watching the birds and squirrels revealed a profound appreciation for the simple beauty of life. A lover of the outdoors, he found peace by the water’s edge, casting lines and sharing stories with loved ones. Bruce was a man of few words but immense actions, and his legacy lives on in the memories of those he touched.
