For the last 50+ years Bruce owned and operated a very successful business in Montrose, Co. called Chuchuru's Backhoe and Dozer. He could run any piece of equipment set before him. As a young boy his family raised sheep in the Cimmaron. Dad had him on a tractor when he could reach the pedals. He loved going to the hills, camping, four wheeling in the roughest terrain he could find, and a big, juicy steak. He enjoyed cruises and trips with his wife, and going to Con-Expo every 3 years. If you had Bruce as a friend, you had a true friend. The world lost a wonderful husband, friend and just all-around special person. He will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to have known him.
