SOMERS – Bruce E. Ford, 85, passed away at Froedtert South – Kenosha Hospital campus on Tuesday, August 20, 2019.

Bruce was born in Chicago on August 28, 1933, the son of the late Melvin and Ruth (nee: Young) Ford.  He was stationed in Okinawa Japan while he proudly and honorably served his nation with the US Army.  On November 28, 1975 he married Kathleen Cecchini.

Bruce retired from Chase Bank.  He loved skiing, sailing and traveling the world with Kathy. He was a past member of the National Ski Patrol and a longtime member of the Kenosha Yacht Club. His true passion was the theater. He was very active at the Racine Theatre Guild in set construction and volunteered for many years until he was physically unable to do it any longer.

In addition to his wife Kathy, Bruce is survived by his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Angela and Robert Ventura of Kenosha; his brother-in-law, Dr. Jacob Lulack of Plains, MT; as well as very dear nieces, nephews and their families.  He was also preceded in death by his sister, Ellouise Ford and sister-in-law, Louise Lulack.

Family and friends are invited to meet in the Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory on Saturday, August 24, 2019 for a visitation from 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.  A service honoring and remembering his life will follow at 11:30 a.m.  and conclude with military honors.   A private interment will take place in the Southern Wisconsin Veterans Memorial Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, memorials have been suggested to the Racine Theatre Guild.

  1. Beth Jurgaitis says

    Bruce Ford was as strong a supporter as any the Racine Theatre Guild has had over its long history. He advocated, attended, volunteered (often full days), and generously donated. He was a constant presence for much of my time of employment at RTG. He will be remembered and missed.

  2. Dick & Fran Hansen says

    We wish to express our deep simpathy on the loss of Bruce Fotd. May he rest in peace.

Testimonials

December 1, 2023

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable. One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort. What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control. Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience. In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark, and broader, Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout . the entire process. – Epifanio and The Munoz Family
