Bruce Kendorski Obituary

Bruce Rene Kendorski, 82, of Whitehall, passed away Friday, October 17, 2025. He was born November 17, 1942, in Detroit, the son of Victor and Gertrude (Sadowski) Kendorski.

For almost 63 years, Bruce was lucky enough to be married to the love of his life, Averna (Evo) Kendorski. Together, they were blessed with two daughters who spoiled him with all the love a dad could want. When he was asked what the secret was to a good marriage, he replied, "a good sense of humor!" We all have to agree, dad lived the life he wanted.

Dad loved Whitehall, but the sunny skies of Florida called to him every winter. He was always ready to play a game of poker, maybe even bluff a hand or two. You could see his heart grow by the minute watching his grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow and play. The time spent talking about football and the weather with his two wonderful sons-in law will always be cherished. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, he will be deeply missed.

A private memorial service will be held in Fruitland Township Cemetery.
