Bruce Charles Giddens, born on June 16, 1955, in Pittsburgh, PA, was a man of extraordinary talent and creativity.

His ingenuity and attention to detail brought life to countless film sets, and his unique creations played a pivotal role in the magic of the silver screen.

John Pingel and nephews Bryan and Timothy. Bruce was preceded in death by his father, Hillery Giddens, and his mother, Hermine Giddens. He will be laid to rest with his parents at Mt.
