Bruce graduated Granada High School in 1960 and went to Mankato Vo-Tech to start his career as a master contractor plumber. He started a job as a welder in the Naval Shipyard in California before moving to Oklahoma in 1971. In Oklahoma he worked with his Uncle Wylan building cabinets for kitchens and bathrooms before moving on to Bud’s plumbing which he ran until starting his own family plumbing company “Bruce’s Plumbing Inc.” After many years of working hard he was able to retire and spend more time with his beloved family and friends and going fishing. Saying Bruce enjoyed fishing is an understatement. He had the gift of being able to create things from leftover parts and old tools. He enjoyed to hunt, ride dirt bikes, and riding motorcycles in his younger days. Bruce could build anything you wanted or fix anything that was broken and enjoyed doing it.
