Bruce was a WWII veteran and business owner of Elliott Machine Shop and Fabricating in Strathroy. He served as a Strathroy town councillor for many years, a term as deputy mayor, and participated in Middlesex County Council. Bruce was a member of the Strathroy Jaycees. He enjoyed building and flying his model airplanes with his friends Willy, Don, Larry and Fred.
