He was on numerous leagues: baseball, softball, golf, shuffleboard, roller figure skating, lawn bowling, and bowling. He either coached, umpired, or refereed for; volleyball, softball, basketball, roller hockey, speed skating, and basketball. He enjoyed playing games; horseshoes, lawn darts, billiards, cards, corn hole, badminton, tennis, and puzzles. Everything became a fun competition, which he always won!.
His passion though, was being outdoors. He loved camping, fishing, hiking, boating, traveling, cruising, and even yard work. He was still cutting grass at age 90. He would do anything to be outside.
A majority of his life was working in a church. He was given the title "Minister of Maintenance" at Far Hill Baptist Church. He also was the custodian at Centerville Community Church. Bruce began and organized the first McPeek Open Golf Tournament, held in 1990. Bruce loved the Lord, and spent his years serving God, helping his community, giving, and blessing others. His heart was enormous.
