Bruce Kleinschmidt Obituary
of Peoria, AZ passed away on April 5, 2011. Bruce was born on December 12, 1956 in Merrill, WI. Bruce is survived by his wife, Kathy, his father and step-mother Percy and Janet, mother Pat, siblings Scott, Ty and Kelly, his son Christopher (Erin) and grandchildren Caitlyn, Xachary and Mason, as well as many nieces and nephews. Bruce most recently worked as a printer before retiring for medical reasons. He was a volunteer with the Arizona Basset Hound Rescue and had adopted four dogs from that organization. He was of course a Packers fan and we are grateful he got to see his team win another championship. Bruce's life will be celebrated on Monday, April 11, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. at the West Congregational Church, 4650 W. Thomas Road. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the church or to the Arizona Basset Hound Rescue, P.O. Box 32594, Phx, AZ 85064. I love you and miss you my sweet man. I am glad you are at peace.

Kathy, may God hold you close to him during this time. I must say there must be many jealous people right now because they know Bruce has the best seat of all now when he watches the PACKERS!
God bless

To Bruce's wife Kathy and Family. My heart was saddened today when I saw Bruce's picture and the posting in the paper. We went to Glendale high school together. He was always funny, kind and thoughtful. I've enjoyed his posts and comments on Facebook the past year and catching up. I pray he is at peace. My heartfelt sympathies to all of you. You are in my prayers.
