He was born May 1, 1922, in Syracuse, New York to the late Fredrick and Mildred (Bourne) Bohner. Bruce served his country during World War II with the U.S. Air Force 388th Airborne Division, working as a B-17 airplane mechanic and crew chief. He was a private pilot and member of the EAA. Bruce was a charter member of the American Legion in Lyons, New York. On October 25, 1977, he married Gail Scovel Zeinert. Bruce was a farmer and was in agricultural sales at Wentzel Ford in Winneconne. He had his own band, the Country Ramblers, and taught guitar. Bruce enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, and camping.

Oh the stories Bruce could tell and everything that he had done! I especially enjoyed his story of the JC Penney guernsey farm. He had a heart of gold and will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers to his family. Rest In Peace, Bruce.
