He was a diesel mechanic, working for Excel Energy Company until he retired from the company. He loved to study the Bible and was very strong in his convictions, he was very knowledgeable of the bible and would love to discuss it with anyone. Bruce was a member of the Masonic Order Lodge, he held the rank of Grand Master as a member of Kiva Shriners, and also a member of the Yourk Rite and Scottish Rite. One of Bruce’s favorite pastimes was to tell stories of his past, things he has done and experiences with equipment he worked on and places his work took him. He worked for several months in Saudi Arabia, and decided he missed his family and his country enough to come home. Bruce loved to play chess, and watch football, before current technology he would have at least three televisions in the living room so he could watch multiple games!
