Bruce Bucholtz Obituary
After graduating high school in 1957, Bruce enlisted in the Army. And on July 4, 1970, he married Maryellen Goodman in Whitewater, WI. Bruce worked at Badgerline Co-op and Sturgis Newport, in Whitewater before his retirement.
Bruce loved to watch the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers, but when they weren't playing, he was happy to throw on an old western. He enjoyed gardening, puzzles, playing card games and never failed at cracking jokes. Bruce loved his dogs and admired any classic car he saw.
Bruce is survived by his loving wife Maryellen Bucholtz; children Daniel (Dede) Bucholtz of Beloit, WI, Stephen (Marie) Bucholtz, of Peru, Jeff (Susan) Bucholtz of Milton, WI, Tim Bucholtz of Milton, WI, Jennifer (Jon) Evans of Friendship, TX, B. Raymond (Sharlene Konkel) Bucholtz of Whitewater, WI, and Michelle Bucholtz of Whitewater, WI; 13 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, brother Douglas Bucholtz of Madison, WI, and many other family and friends.
In addition to his parents, Bruce was preceded in death by his sister Katherine Susan and brother Patrick Bucholtz.
