Bruce Lang Obituary
September 21, 1939 - February 8, 2025
Bruce E. Lang, 85, passed away on February 8, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of leadership, generosity, and unwavering warmth. A proud Navy veteran, Bruce carried his dedication and discipline into a distinguished career, serving as President and owner of Canteen Corporation, a lead executive and efficiency expert for International Paper, and a licensed financial advisor with Ameriprise Financial before retiring in 2020.
Beyond his professional achievements, Bruce was a passionate golfer and an active leader in his community. He served as President of United Way and was a lifelong contributor to the Shriners Club, reflecting his deep commitment to service and philanthropy.
Bruce is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Lynda; along with his two children, three stepchildren, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. His warming influence and gregarious nature will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
A celebration of Bruce's life will be held at the Heritage Oaks Golf & Country Club Clubhouse on February 22 from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in his honor.

Lynda,
So sorry to hear of Bruce´s passing. I really miss him from our days at Mellocraft and Midwest Paper. Things were never the same after Bruce left Midwest. Hope you´re doing well. Take care and I wish you good health.
