Born on June 7, 1938 in Newburgh, New York, he was the son of the late Isabella (Tweed) Weir. Bruce grew up in Milford, Connecticut, where he attended Milford High School. He went on to join the Navy as a HIM Aviation Electrician’s Mate on the USS Shangri La.

Sports were an interest in his life, playing fast-pitch softball in Sunbury in his earlier years. He was a fan of UCONN girls’ basketball, UNC men’s basketball, and Notre Dame football. He especially loved watching his grandson, Max, play midget football and watching the streaming of his granddaughter, Maisie, play fast-pitch softball.
