Bruce graduated from California State University, Fullerton. He was a born salesman who loved his work in real estate and recreational vehicles.

For five years (2010-2015), through his "Bruce at the Beach" videos on YouTube and Facebook, he shared information and perspective on local real estate.

He was a storyteller who found delight in making others laugh, and was generous to his favorite charities that helped people most in need.

He loved his pets, Peanut and Socks, but most of all he loved Paula, the center of his life, whom he treasured above all else.

A funeral mass will be held on Dec. 10, at 10 a.m., St. Thomas by the Sea Catholic Church, Orange Beach, Alabama, with a reception to follow.
