Obituary for Bruce E. Parkhurst
Bruce E. Parkhurst, 89, a devoted family man, died peacefully November 10, 2016 surrounded by his loving family at Bangor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
He was born October 6, 1927 in Bangor, son of Earle E. and Madelin M. (Campbell) Parkhurst. Bruce was a graduate of Bangor High School and the University of Maine. He was employed as an engineer and retired in 1985 after 35 years of service at the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, Bangor office. Bruce was an Eagle Scout, Order of the Arrow and on the Board of Review. He and his parents were part of a sharp shooting show, which traveled across New England. He was a U.S. Navy veteran and served as an electrician.
Bruce is survived by his devoted wife of 65 years, Helen C. Parkhurst; children Michael (Christine) Parkhurst, Christine (Richard) Rackliffe, Tammy (Wayne) Scheuring, Dale (Tamera King) Parkhurst, eight grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and his two cats. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by an infant son, Stephen.
A Memorial Service will be held 1p.m. Tuesday, November 15, 2016 at Brookings Smith, 133 Center Street, Bangor with the Reverend Jack Williams officiating. The family invites relatives and friends to share conversation and refreshments at the Family Reception Center of Brookings Smith, 163 Center Street, immediately following the service Tuesday.
