Obituary
Bruce Charles Piersall, 59, passed away on December 25 at his home in Seattle, Washington. Bruce was born to Charles Frank Piersall, and Patricia Ann Crandall (nee Clay) on May 6, 1959, in Huntington, West Virginia. He leaves behind his father, Charles, in Pocatello, Idaho, and his mother, Patricia, of Niantic, Connecticut. Bruce was the beloved eldest brother to Dianna Vosburg of Holliston, Massachusetts and Sharma Piersall, of Niantic. Bruce grew up in Old Mystic, Connecticut and attended Stonington High School. Bruce also leaves behind his loving partner, Ida Carroll, and her family, of Seattle, Washington.
Bruce served in the Navy and he also worked as a landscaper in the Seattle area. He enjoyed nature and fishing, and he appreciated the rugged beauty of the West Coast. For the last several years, Bruce worked at Seattle’s stadium, a job he enjoyed.
Bruce was a highly social person and liked to talk with people he met, and he was known for his kindness, gentle nature, and sense of humor. Bruce was also a devoted Christian.
A memorial service will take place at Bonney and Watson Funeral Home, 3153, 16445 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA, 1 p.m., Wednesday, January 9, 2019. A subsequent service will take place at Niantic Baptist Church, Connecticut, for his family and friends on the East Coast.
We knew Bruce Piersall only as a very young child when he and his parents and siblings lived in Port Orchard, WA. His father was a teacher at Marcus Whitman Junior High along with my husband. Unfortunately, we never saw Bruce again once we left Port Orchard and moved to AZ in 1967. Thus we did not know Bruce as an adult. We would love to have his family contact us via email and provide us with contact information on his parents. We send our condolences to Bruce’s family and are so very sorry for their loss of Bruce.
