Bruce Porter Obituary
1941 - 2022
Bruce Armstrong Porter sadly passed away on December 6, 2022, right here in Santa Maria. Bruce passed peacefully in his home, surrounded by his family, after a long battle with Alzheimer 's.
Bruce was best known for his commercials for Iversen Motor Company, his golf swing on the back nine, and the joy he brought to every room. The world is a better place for having him be a part of it.
Bruce leaves behind his loving wife Pat, son Kelly and daughter Kari.
Services will be private, but the family will honor Bruce's memory by holding a celebration of his life in late January. Be prepared to share stories and laugh as we celebrate Bruce and the impact he had on everyone's life.
