He served in the Navy and went on to have a successful career in project management at Bahnson, Inc before moving to Charlotte and joining Robertson Airtech. Bruce retired in 2002 and moved full-time to Wilmington.
Bruce had a passion for cars. He was a member of the British Motor Club of the Cape Fear and attended many car shows. Bruce loved all animals, especially cats. He was known to rescue strays and he always opened his heart and home to any cats in need.
Bruce had an infectious smile and a kind and compassionate spirit. He was always willing to help a friend or stranger, who would then become a friend. He had a quick wit and could effortlessly make you laugh. His sense of humor was one of a kind.
