Obituary of Bruce Allen White

Bruce Allen White passed away on February 5, 2020 at the age of 80 in Lakewood, Colorado.  Bruce was born December 7, 1939 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and graduated from Hastings High School in Nebraska in 1958.  He then joined the US Navy, served for 20 years, and retired as a Chief Petty Officer in 1977.

Bruce enjoyed bowling, fishing, sewing and quilting, and spending time with his family.  He loved music, dogs and cars!
