Bruce Allen Ader

Bruce A. Ader, 75, passed away Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at his home. He was born in Morristown, NJ in 1938. Bruce worked in the International Union of operating Engineers 825. Upon retiring they relocated to Lowell, NC. He was an avid racing enthusiast , in earlier days he would travel to many a raceway to see the action, unfortunately his health restricted the travel but you always knew where he'd be when the race was on - watching it on the big screen. Mr. Bruce was a friendly guy - "The un-official mayor of River Falls" who sat on the front porch in his rocking chair along with his wife and dog waving to everyone who passed by.
