Bruce loved his trips to Mexico with family and friends on their many scuba diving vacations. He was a proud father of two amazing young ladies, Bailey and Johanna, and loved attending their activities, never missing an opportunity to express how proud he was.

Bruce had a zest for life with a great sense of humor and a calming personality. He made everyone feel at ease in his presence. He always left with a smile on his face and wished everyone to “have a good day!” Bruce died on April 9, 2018 on the same farm he spent his entire life, in rural Harlan having attained the age of sixty-six years and ten months.
