Bruce and Mary were childhood sweethearts. They married in 1964 and moved to St. Louis to start a career at Anheuser-Busch.

Bruce was a season-ticket holder for the Rams and a life-long sports fan, playing many sports in his youth. Bruce and Mary enjoyed many weekends at the Lake of the Ozarks, boating and hosting family and friends. He loved sporty cars. He always had at least one dog by his side and loved to spoil them.
He will be missed and loved by everyone who knew his kind and generous spirit.
A memorial service will be held for family and friends at a later date.
Mary we are very sorry for your loss. We know how very close you and Bruce were. You and your family are in our prayers.
Dearest Mary and family. I know that the road ahead seems impossible without Bruce but we know your strength comes from the Lord.
Know all of your Christian sisters are standing in the gap for you. We love you Mary.
Mary, you probably don’t remember me. I was your neighbor at 3612 Falcon Ridge. I remember both of you. My condolences to you and your loved ones
Mary and family: We are so very sorry to hear the news about Bruce and want you to know we are thinking of you with much love.

May you know that we send our love to you all. Wishing you all love, peace and strength. Bruce will be missed by all of us who knew him!! Laura and Buzz
Sincerest Condolences To My Exceptional Academic Dean, Bruce:
Please accept this as my huge virtual hug to you as I know what it is like to lose a father. We do not always understand the “why” when our loved ones are seemingly snatched away from our grasp. However, I believe in GOD and know GOD knows the “why” and pities every single groan we have. I extend my sincerest prayers and condolences to all who love your father. The beauty of our human existence is love never dies! Be encouraged and know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings to you all and if there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am here for you.
Mary, we were so sad to learn of your loss of Bruce. Valerie and I are praying for you. If there is ever anything you need, please don’t hesitate to ask us. We’ll be available anytime you need us. We’re just 3 doors away.
Mary, I just learned of Bruce’s passing. You have my deepest sympathy. It seems like yesterday when we were at our 50th class reunion.
