Bruce BONHAM Obituary

BONHAM, Bruce Grafton

aka Mr. Wonderful, aka #2, aka Uncle Beast, joined his Lord and Savior on February 10th, 2022. Bruce was a devoted

husband to a whimsical wife for over 50 years, a supportive father to compassionate and sincere children, and a loyal brother, favorite uncle, doting grandpa and dedicated friend. He is survived by his spouse Ardith (Glass) Bonham, his four children April (Shannon) Hollinger, Jessica (Thomas Jr.) Pycraft, Amanda (Bradley) Greene, Joshua (Dana Cook) Bonham; grandchildren

Benjamin, Jenna and Emily Hollinger, Anna and Olivia Pycraft, BrayLee, Silas, Malachi and Asher Greene; brothers Mike

(Ruby), James (Karen), Jeff (Nancy), and Andrew (Kim) Bonham. He was preceded in death by his parents Bob and Betty Bonham. He taught us how to love, how to lead, and how to forgive. The party will be held on March 12th, 2022, at Huber Heights Grace Community Church, 5001 Fishburg Rd. at 11:00 AM. A light lunch will be provided afterward for those wanting to visit with the family.

My Cousin, Bruce, always had something nice to say. My husband has played ping pong with him and his competitive brothers, "those Bonham brothers were certainly in a league of their own!" Bruce and Ardi attended our son, Joshua's wedding in Florida. We were thrilled by their support and so happy to see them! Many have commented how much Bruce looked like my Dad, his Uncle Ray. We have lost another good guy may we follow his example.

Sorry to hear Bruce has passed. He will be remembered as the best boss we ever had. He also was caring to all who work for him. Our family has fond memories of all the fireworks parties you hosted. May you feel Gods, love, peace, and comfort at this time. Remember all the fun loving times you all had with Bruce.

I was startled when I saw Bruce at an auction two yrs. after my divorce & he came over & talked to me & shook my friends hand, Bruce was no phony & I never forgot that act of kindness he showed me!
