He worked and raised his family in Clute, TX but returned to Merryville after his retirement. Bruce had a servant’s heart and helped many people throughout his life. He was a member of The United Methodist Church and The Masonic Lodge #329. Bruce had an ear for music and could play anything on the guitar but also many other instruments. He loved everything about cars; watching races, auctions, working on them, especially driving them…fast! His garden was second to none. But his family was always first.
