Bruce graduated from Kenmore High school in June 1982. After graduation, Bruce returned to Buffalo New York and held various culinary jobs until he enlisted in the US Marine Corps. After being discharged from the US Marine Corps he became self employed as a "Handy Man" affectionately known as, Uncle Bruce. If you knew Bruce, you knew there was nothing he could not fix or build. He was a "Jack of All Trades". He was always just a phone call away. Bruce loved watching cooking shows to get ideas because he loved to cook. If you were having a cookout, he was the first to volunteer to be on the grill. Bruce was also a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan. He looked forward to football season and watching football on Sundays.
