He met Ann Tuthill, the love of his life, while they were summer camp counselors at Camp Sloane in Lakeville, CT. They were married in 1956 and raised their three children in Ridgewood, NJ, where they lived until moving recently to Alexandria, VA, to be near their daughter Katy.

While at Wesleyan, Bruce was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. After college, he served in the Army in post-war Germany. When he returned to the United States, he married Ann and started his career at Hanover Bank in New York, NY, then worked at American Express, and ultimately finished his banking career at The United States Trust Company of New York. He traveled throughout Latin America using his fluency in Spanish from his childhood in Cuba.

Bruce loved to travel with his family, especially to the Caribbean and to Cape Cod to enjoy holidays at his parents’ home. He loved to sing and joined the chorus at Mount Hermon, Wesleyan, the University Glee Club of New York, the Barbershop Quartet, and West Presbyterian Church of Ridgewood.

After retirement, Bruce and Ann loved traveling together and enjoying their pool. He was an avid participant in Mount Hermon and Wesleyan reunions and was close to his alumni friends.
