Bruce Wendell Wilkinson, formerly of Crossville, Tennessee slipped from this earth into the arms of his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at his home in Norton Shores. He was born August 9, 1928 in Shelby, Ohio to Clair Read Obituary
I just learned of Bruce's passing. He was a great mentor to me in my first years as a faculty member in chemical engineering at Michigan State. He passed to me the duties of the undergraduate laboratory, which benefited from his industrial experience. His legacy lives on in the manual that we use and the methods used to help the students gain practical experience.
Bruce volunteered at International Aid in Spring Lake, where I work, and it was a pleasure to have him in our medical equipment services area. Bruce worked with us in preparation of medical devices that would eventually be sent to missionary partners serving people in need in developing areas around the world. So sorry for your loss. It is good to know he is rejoicing with our Savoir Jesus.

We were privileged to know Bruce for several yeas as our Sunday School teacher at the Crossville Church of the Nazarene in Crossville TN. He was a true man of God and I learned many things from him concerning the Bible & God. Sorry for your loss, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and we can rejoice in this knowledge.

We share your loss but we also share your hope that Bruce is well and we will all see him again. We will miss his humble well-reasoned participation in our men's class at church. We thank God for Bruce's life and his strong witness and encouragement to the men at Forest Park.
I have been blessed to have known Bruce. He truly was a man of integrity and was a humble giving person who was always willing to help. He will be greatly missed in our neighborhood as he served faithfully on our condo board and his wisdom and intelligence were greatly appreciated. He took loving care of his wife who he obviously loved very much. I want to thank Bruce's family for sharing their dad with Trellis Association and express my sympathy to each of them.
