Bruce William Summers, age 73, died Monday, August 9, 2010, after a short illness.
He was born March 2, 1937, in North Georgetown, Ohio, to Pearl (Zryd) and Hazen Summers.
Bruce attended Washington Township Elementary School and graduated from Alliance High School in 1955. He worked for Summers Construction for more than 35 years, alongside his brother, Raymond. Following that, he worked for Jarman Printing until his retirement.
He was a hard working man, known for his brick laying ability and could fix almost anything. Over the years, he enjoyed camping at Gott's Little Acres, Cutty's and currently was a member of P'na Sportsman Club. His hobbies included playing cards with his friends, watching Animal Planet and he loved celebrating the holidays and birthdays with his large family. He also had a surprising sense of humor with a subtle smile that we will never forget.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his wife, Joyce Ann (Moneypenny) Summers, with whom he would have celebrated 53 years of marriage on August 11th; his children, Bruce, Dianne (Bill) Arnold and David (Karen); grandchildren, Michael, Mandi, Tara, Kendra, Krista, Justin, Billy, Brieann, Matt, Jessica, Brianna and Drew. He is also survived by his siblings, Nonie (Jim) Toth, Roger (Janet) Summers; sister-in-law, Goldie Summers and brother and sister-in-law, Paul and Gloria Moneypenny. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Dorothy Freshly; and brothers, Norman and Raymond Summers.
For more than 50 years, Bruce and Joyce were part of a circle of friends that provided laughter, friendship and countless good times. More importantly they have always been an endless source of love and support when it was needed most.
Services will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday, August 12, 2010 at Cassaday-Turkle-Christian Funeral Home with Rev. Bob Miller officiating. Friends may call from 2 to 4 p.m. prior to the service. Interment will be at Highland Memorial Park.
