Bruce was born July 29, 1946, to Raymond and Fern (Boyes) Fulk on the place his grandfather homesteaded in 1886. A point Bruce was very proud of. In 1986 the family received the plaque for the Nebraska Pioneer Farm Family in North Platte. Bruce spent his entire 74 years on the ranch he so dearly loved.

He was also a past member of Faith Lutheran Church in Wallace.
Bruce and Ann followed their daughters and grandchildren in all of their school and 4-H activities. Even going so far as to travel to pick up pigs for each of them. They also traveled for many years with dear friends to all the states in the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Bahamas, Panama Canal, Jamaica, Cozumel, and Grand Caymans. The ultimate trip was the trip to Hawaii in 2019 with the entire family for their 50th wedding anniversary, coming home to COVID.
