He was the fourth of seven children born to Floyd and Vada Inman Peak. In 1924, the Peak family moved to a farm in the Blanche area southwest of Elsie.

One son, Carl, and two daughters-Norma and Verna, were born to this union. In 1939 Bruce and Grace moved their family to Coquille Oregon and then to Albany in 1941. Bruce was employed by a plywood mill where he was promoted to a foreman in 1941.
