Throughout his life he worked and excelled as a machinist at Atkins Power Plant, Bryan Machine and Tool, Texas Municipal Power Agency, and he retired from New Southwest Baking Company.

Bruce was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. Those who knew Bruce knew him to be artistic, mechanically inclined, and a true Mr. Fix It. He was an outdoorsman who loved to hunt, flyfish, camp, and ride motorcycles. He was a jack-of-all trades and excelled at several hobbies including tying his own flies for fly fishing, intricate knitting, gardening, bow hunting, sharpening knives, bicycling, calligraphy, carving, drawing, writing poems, singing, and bird watching.
