BRUCE HANEY Obituary
BRUCE EDWARD
Beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend, died peacefully on Thursday, January 17, 2013, at age 56, after a valiant and courageous battle against cholangiocarcinoma. Bruce will be remembered as a generous and caring friend, sage advisor, and courageous soul. Bruce is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 32 years, Andrea; devoted daughters, Sara and Mackenzie; loving parents, Jane and Ed Haney; brother, Brian Haney (Charlie Buscemi); sisters, Janet Haney and Patti (Dale) DiSanto; mother-in-law, Bettie Gillot; sisters-in-law, Bonnie (Paul) Killian, Tina (Frank) Gill, Donna Gillot, Beverly Gillot, Maria (Scott) Werner; brothers-in-law, Dominic (Angela) Gillot, Tom Gillot, Jim (Melanie) Gillot; 24 nieces and nephews; cousins, and many dear friends. For the past 10 years, Bruce served as Managing Partner for ECHO Realty's development function. Prior to working for ECHO, Bruce served as Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer of iGate Capital Corporation, Chief Financial Officer of FORE Systems, and President and Co-Founder of the Gustine Company, a commercial real estate development firm based in Pittsburgh, PA. Prior to founding the Gustine Company, Bruce worked for Arthur Andersen, LLP. Bruce earned his master's degree in taxation from DePaul University, a Bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and was a Certified Public Accountant. Bruce believed in giving back and cared deeply for his wide circle of friends, family, and community. He gave extensively of his time, talent and resources to help others. The Bruce E. Haney Charitable Fund was developed through Bruce's generosity and concern for others and was formed to contribute to the Raizman-Haney Endowed Fund. Thinking ahead, and thinking of others, Bruce led this effort to raise money to support research and awareness for cholangiocarcinoma and to help pave the way towards a cure. Bruce was blessed to have had the wonderful caring hands and compassion of Dr. Wallis Marsh who became Bruce's friend and advocate. We believe that through Dr. Marsh's skillful hands, Bruce gained three additional years of life. Our family is deeply grateful for all that Dr. Marsh has done for Bruce, along with the compassionate care of his oncologist, Dr. Stanley Marks, and proactive diagnosis and friendship of his dear friend, Dr. Jim Gleason. Bruce was an avid golfer, athlete, and sports fan. One of Bruce's passions was watching his daughters play field hockey at the Ellis School and Rhodes College. Bruce was a WPIAL championship golfer in high school and Orchid Island Country Club (Vero Beach) golf champion for three years. As passionate as Bruce was about competition and sports, he was doubly passionate about his relationships. He will be missed by the many who love him deeply. Friends will be received at the JOHN F. SLATER FUNERAL HOME, INC., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227, Saturday from 6-8 p.m. and Sunday from 1-4 and 6-8 p.m. Funeral Prayer on Monday morning at 10:15 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial in St. Mary of the Assumption Church, Hampton Township at 11:30 a.m. Interment will be in St. Mary of the Assumption Cemetery.

Andrea, and family,
Having worked with Bruce in his early years at the Guistine Co. I gained respect for a powerhouse of a man. God blesses a chosen few with the gifts that Bruce personified. Those gifts were evident in all that he did, and visible in everyone he touched. His zest for all aspects of living will forever be remembered. His daily quest for life is now rewarded in a new found peace.

Dear Andrea,
There are no words to express such deep sorrow and sadness. We had no idea Bruce was ill and he had some wonderful doctors who did their very best to beat this horrible illness. He was a good man and is now with the Lord and is no longer in pain. He will be missed .... and you are always remembered as a good friend even though we haven't been in touch since we've moved, so long ago. Your family is in our hearts and prayers and may the Lord give you the strength to move along one day at a time. Andrea, you always gave me strength with your wonderful laughs and positive attitude; miss you - he will always be with you.
Love,
Lynda and Lou and Whitney (Kynzie) and Will Royston

Dear Andrea and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I met Bruce while working with him in Florida that last 2 years and have the highest respect and regard for him. He is an example to me on toughness and focus. I will always remember the short time we worked together and have had him in my prayers for much of that time. May God bless you and his girls.

Brucey was and always will remain a legend, even though he never sought out or wished to be one. He was one of the all time good guys, and proved to be one of the all time great fighters. He was a legendary innovator, using the" left hand low" putting stroke long before anyone else, and I think the USGA may ultimately prohibit anyone from going as low as Brucey did with his left hand. And the legendary squat. If you saw it once, you chuckled, but you never forgot it. And it worked.
God bless you Bruce. I will miss you so much.
