Bruce dedicated many years to Northeast Power, climbing the ranks from a diligent lineman to a respected line superintendent. His work ethic was matched only by his desire to lend a hand, be it through clearing a fallen tree or ensuring a neighbor’s driveway was free of snow.
Bruce’s love for the land was evident in his passion for farming, raising cattle, and tending to his garden. His joy was ever present whether he was cutting wood or cheering on his favorite football team. A man of many talents, Bruce’s deep bass voice and guitar skills brought music and warmth to any gathering.
Content at home, Bruce also found pleasure in exploring the country, with memorable trips to Alaska, Florida, Yellowstone, and the East Coast. His good humor, love for animals, and the simple pleasures of life will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
