Body

Bruce died Nov. 26, 2015, just weeks after a diagnosis of lung cancer with no previous indications. He had attended our 55th reunion in apparent fine health.

After Princeton, where he majored in art history and ate at Campus Club, Bruce began a more-than-25-year career in international commercial banking. He later moved into fundraising work for nonprofit institutions.

In retirement and throughout his life, he was a follower of Christ and was active in numerous Christian and civic pursuits. Bruce continued his love of art and music and played the piano every day.

He and his wife, Pat, were married for 51 years. She survives Bruce along with their three children and their spouses, and their grandchildren.
