Bruce was born on June 21, 1942 in Edwardsville, Kansas. He was in the United States Army where he was able to receive his GED and was later honorably discharged. He worked at the Kansas City Street Department for several years and then eventually moved to Traftec where he later retired. His greatest accomplishment was being a grandpa or “Pawl” as they would call him. He loved hanging out with family and friends while having a few Coors Lights. He enjoyed playing pool and hanging out with friends at Bill’s 32 West. Everyone who knew Bruce was blessed beyond measure.
He was preceded in death by his parents Virgil and Cynthia (Sons) McComb, his wife Eleanor “Ellie” McComb, two brothers Corvan and Jimmy McComb, sons Ted “Tedro” McComb, Joseph “JoJo” Rita, and Timothy “Tim Buck” Rita.
He is survived by his granddaughters Samantha McComb and Heather (Finace) of the home and Rebecca Lesher of Wichita, Kansas along with his daughter Sonya Wilder and her husband Richard and daughter in-law Tammy Rita not to mention his great grandchildren Jasmine and Samuel.
