Jeffrey C. Bruce

Jeffrey was born March 16, 1958 in Warsaw, New York to the late Harold Bruce and Vivian McCracken. He leaves behind two children; daughter, Michelle (Chad) Oberther and a son, Joshua Bruce; their mother Mary (David Lane) Resch Bruce; a significant other, Maureen Corey; brothers, Harold Russell (Josie) Bruce, the late Richard Bruce, Terrence Bruce and Andrew (Rhonda) Bruce; sisters, Linda (Bill) Leathersich, Helen Gibson, Suzanne (James) McCullough and Robin (William Stollhans) Good; grandchildren, Alexander (LJ) Rotoli, Skye (Dylan) Rotoli, Jenna Rotoli, Levi Oberther, Brayden Turturro and Earl Oberther along with cousins, nieces, nephews and countless friends.

Jeff left an indelible mark on all who knew him including the many he worked with at Chili Plastics, Norden Inc. and Ontario Plastics. He enjoyed long rides on his motorcycle (especially if it was to go see a good rock concert), vacations to Virginia Beach, spending time with his family and friends and showing love to his furry friend Rosie.

Family and friends would describe him as a hardworking, caring, generous and loving man who had an infectious laugh and knew how to have a good time. He also enjoyed jam bands like Government Mule and The Grateful Dead, collecting eagle figurines and lots of classic rock concert recordings.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
