Bruce Edward Slater, 61, passed away unexpectedly and suddenly at his home in Woodbury on June 20, 2016.
Kind, generous, loving, compassionate, and empathetic are some of the many qualities that Bruce possessed. He was a great father, son, brother, uncle, and friend who truly epitomized the meaning of gentleman. Bruce was an extraordinarily gifted and talented man who was a master woodworker and a sheer genius with his knowledge of computers. He could also fix just about any type of machine on the planet.
Bruce was born on September 17, 1954 in Waterbury, CT. He was fascinated with astrology; he was a Virgo, born in the year of the Wood Horse. Bruce lived most of his life in Woodbury, CT. He was well known and loved by the community and was always offering a helpful hand, a very thoughtful man. Bruce was a valued employee at Woodbury Supply Co., who will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
He is predeceased by his father Frederic W. Slater. He is survived by his mother Janet Rita Bova Lafond, his daughter, Chelsea Lynn Slater, and six siblings David Peter Slater, Diane Marie Shursen, Linda Janet Sadlon, Cathy Ann Slater, Robyn Elise Lafond, and Robert Arthur Lafond and several nieces and nephews.
