Bruce Eberhart Obituary

Bruce Allen Eberhart, of Lima, Ohio, passed away on January 1, 2019 at the age of 70. Bruce was born in Lawrence, Kansas on September 20, 1948 to Noah Everett Eberhart and Marie Doris Fleer Eberhart Sass.

For many years he served IBEW Local 32 as a Labor Trustee, as well as being involved with other committees to help serve members of the Union. He was an avid reader. He also loved listening to his music collection while being accompanied by his faithful companions, his dog Bootsie and cat Duke and all of his four legged companions that came before them. He enjoyed his tree and vegetable gardens, coming from a long line of green thumbs.
