Bruce built a successful career in investment banking with Morgan Stanley. His dedication and drive left a lasting impression on colleagues and clients alike. After retiring, Bruce and Kathy relocated to Florida to enjoy their later years together.

He is lovingly remembered by his daughters Lauren (Kellen) and Leslie; his devoted sister and brother-in-law Laura and Don Hardee; and his sister-in-law Sam Seeley. Also holding a special place in his heart was his grand-dog Millie.

Bruce will be remembered fondly by those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort and joy to all who shared in his life.
