Major Ronald Bruce Piner

I was saddened to hear of Bruce's passing, my heart goes out to Donna and family. Bruce and I had the opportunity to work together and across the table from each other on and off over the course of more than 10 years. It seems like this year has taken away so many good people, and I am so sad to hear that Bruce is gone.

I am sorry very sorry to learn of Bruce's passing. I have not seen him in over 40 years, but still recall his infectious sense of humor. It's obvious his life was incredibly well lived, though it was tragicaly cut short. My sympathies to his family.

Dear Bruce Piner Family, My Deepest Sympathies to Retired Major Bruce Piner´s Family and "Loved One" Donna. Bruce was an excellent Dance Instructor and All Around Social Friend of All at the Battlefield Boogie Shag Club...! My Daughter served in the US Marine Corps, as does her First husband now, and Second Husband, in the past...! My first Son in Law is a Colonel and Division Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon. His Name Is Colonel Scott Pierce, and can be contacted through...

There was so much to write about him, and I hope that I captured at least an essence of the amazing man that Bruce was, and still is. He was everything that I could have ever hoped for in a spouse. We worked together, rode to work and back home together, lived together, went shopping together, danced together, taught Carolina shag dancing together, went to concerts, the beach, wineries, shows, historical places, EVERYWHERE together. And we never got tired of being together. He made every...

Bruce was an awesome friend, from the younger years and throughout our friendship. I mentioned to him if he remembered the Flintstone multi Vitamin we ate outside, he said yes, we ate the whole jar, and yes we got a talking to by Miss Ruby. Life was so simple back then. Thanks for the memories Bruce. Outdoors was great, even sharing vitamins. Will miss that laugh. And smile, and humor. Prayers and Condolences to all who knew this fine respectful man and Friend. He will be missed. God bless.

Had the honor and privilege of working with Bruce. We bonded over my name as he had a son named Zachary and another named Alexander, which he would proudly remind me of quite often. He loved his family, and loved his Marine Corps. Bruce was a tremendous colleague, friend, music buff , family man, and just a pleasure to be around. May he rest peacefully, and to his wonderful Donna and kids, may you all find peace during this season.

Saddened to hear of Bruce's passing. We grew up together in Beaufort and both played the trumpet in the East Carteret high school band. I have many fond memories of Bruce. Please accept my condolences.
