Bruce was a United States Army National Guard veteran. He was in the printing business, last working as owner of Edward Hine Printing Company in Peoria. Bruce was an avid golfer and hunter. He belonged to Mt. Hawley Country Club where he served on different committees and boards. He hunted at the Rice Pond Preserve Duck Club spending many days in the duck blinds accompanied by his beloved dogs, especially Callie. He was a volunteer for Easter Seals and a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church, where he served as an usher. We would like to thank OSF Hospice and Grand View for all their loving care of Bruce.

Due to the mandated “Shelter in Place Order”, there will be no visitation. A private graveside service will take place at Swan Lake Memory Gardens in Peoria, also due to the Covid – 19 outbreak. Rev.
