Bruce treasured his family above all else, especially the time he got to spend with his grandkids. He also enjoyed working in the yard, watching the birds from the deck (that he built himself!) and poker nights with his high school buddies. He was involved in his parish festival, mastering The Ring Toss booth for many summers.
