Bruce Edmund Wittenberg
Age 66 of White Bear Lake, passed away surrounded by his family listening to his favorite Smooth Jazz play list on August 1, 2024 after a recent cancer diagnosis.
Bruce was recently retired from Patterson Companies after a 50 year career. He had such a passion for making his customers happy and he was all about being a TEAM with his fellow colleagues.
Bruce loved Smooth Jazz Music (Chris Botti and Lorie Line in particular), relaxing in the back yard with his Marshall speaker and a good bonfire, and spending time with his wife, daughter, son-in-law, grandkids, and pets. His collection of DVD's was like your own private Block Buster. He lived up to his nickname of WITTY by always having a joke on hand, he loved to make people laugh. He was known by many as the Minnesota Sushi King because he made the best ever pickle wraps in MN. His most recent nickname was G-Uber (Grandpa Uber for hire).
Preceded in death by his parents, Edmund and Evelyn Wittenberg, brother, Gene and sister-in-law Anne.
He will be deeply missed by his wife of 42 years Deborah; Daughter, Cassandra (Derek) Wilhelm, grandchildren Olivia and Luke; siblings, David, Bonnie (Mike) Murphy, Barb (Chuck) Goggin, Becky (Mark) Ebent, and Heidi (Tom) Potter. Also survived by many other loving nieces, nephew, godchildren, relatives and close friends.
A Visitation will be held Saturday August 24th, 2024 10 am - Noon with a memorial service starting at Noon at the Washburn-McReavy Shoreview Chapel, 515 Hwy 96 W., Shoreview, MN
The family wants to send a special thank you to the ICU staff at St. Johns Hospital-Maplewood. www.washburn-mcreavy.com
