He and his wife Linda spent the first 14 years of their marriage around the Shawnee, OK area, then in 1984 moved to Gore, OK where they remained until his death. He retired from the Sara Lee Company in 2007 due to declining health. Bruce was a hard worker and seldom missed a day of work.
He enjoyed many hobbies, such as hunting, fishing, gardening and restoring old furniture, but his favorite was hunting. He especially enjoyed hunting with daughter Brandi and his four grandkids.
