Bruce attended the Tilton School and graduated from the University of New Hampshire where he played Division 1 football, something he fondly remembered. A true Northern New Hampshire guy, he loved his community, enjoying the simplicity and beauty of the White Mountains, especially when drove his riding lawn mower, carefully avoiding the Mama Bear and her Babies who roamed his property. An avid skier, he had been a racer in his early years. Later, he became a ski instructor, passionately sharing his love of the sport. Having owned his own business, White Mountain Concrete, for more than 40 years, Bruce liked to think that he left a lasting imprint in the North Country. Together with Michele, Bruce enjoyed antiquing, something they did for over 20 years in their Sugar Hill shop.
