We have been invited by the family of Bruce Otto Leutzinger, 77, to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Bruce served in the USMC from January 10, 1962 to April 21, 1966 during the Vietnam War. Bruce served one tour in country with an involuntary extension. Bruce honorably discharged at the rank of Corporal E-4 and earned the Vietnam Service Medal and Good Conduct Medal.
After his military service, Bruce worked as a cement mixer driver and a warehouse worker and manager, working for companies such as Inland Beverage, Best Buy, Nabisco, and eventually retired from a warehouse that supplied KFC and Denny's restaurants. Bruce was an avid fisherman and sportsman. He was always wanting to go fight a good fight with fish, whether it be in a lake, river or out on the ocean. He loved travelling, he loved his family, God and the Corps.
Bruce is survived by his wife Sharren; sons Lance and Bret; Nephew Wayne; Sister In Law Karren; Cousin Don; Grandchildren Collin, Quinn and Brycen.
