More detail on this person: Bruce Edward
Engelking, 65, passed away Sunday, Dec. 20,
2009, surrounded by family at his home in
Pinehurst.
Bruce was born Sept. 28, 1944, in Wauwatosa,
Wis., to the late Herb and Veronica Engelking.
After graduating from Nicolet High School and
Ripon College, Bruce served with distinction in
the U.S. Army as a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam
War. Bruce then received his law degree at
Marquette University, going on to own a successful
law firm in Port Washington, Wis.
After 28 years of living in Cedarburg, Wis., his
love for golf brought him to Pinehurst. Those who
were lucky enough to have known him will
remember him as a fun-loving man whose
generosity helped many. Bruce had the propensity
to make everyone he met feel special.
A loving husband, father and brother, he is
survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of
42 years, Patty; his children, Jeff and Katie; and
brother Roger (Marge) Engelking. He will also be
dearly missed by his sister-in-law, Donna (Rod)
Hyland, and brother-in-law, Red (Mary Ellen)
Roskopf.
In accordance with Bruce's wishes, a celebration
of his life will be held this spring in Pinehurst.
