Bruce Earl French

December 1, 1956 - May 18, 2017

Bruce French is now in the arms of his Lord. Born in Concord, California, he moved with his family to Benicia in 1970. Bruce graduated from Benicia Intermediate School, and later, Benicia High School in 1975. While in high school, he played the drums for the Benicia High School band, and for ever after, the drums and music were a big part of his life. Bruce was also a faithful member of New Harbor Community Church, where he played his drums for the services there. He also worked in the industrial construction business for many years. At the time of his death, he worked at Robert’s Engineering of Concord. Bruce French is survived by his father, Sam French of Benicia, his brothers Doran of Lafayette, Indiana, Gary (Jackie), of Green Valley, and his sister, Linda French Rodrigues (Greg) of Redding. He is also survived by one niece Carin Telle of Grass Valley, and nephews Mac Telle of Napa, Brian French of Benicia, and David French of Palo Alto, one grand-niece, and three grand nephews. While Bruce’s friends and family mourn his loss, we are all comforted by the thought that surely, Bruce was met in heaven with the words, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Contributions may be made to the charity of the donor’s choice.
