Bruce Whittaker passed away on October 12, 2023, two months shy of his 75th birthday.

He was born to Russell and Olga Whittaker on December 23, 1948. Bruce was a graduate of Central Connecticut State University, Class of 1971.

Bruce lived in Hyde Park and had several jobs in the area including at Anderson School and F. D. Roosevelt High School. During summers in college Bruce was employed by Dutchess County as a lifeguard and swim instructor.

Well known was Bruce's passion for antique cars. During the 70's, he restored a 1931 Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster from the frame up. It was a show winner. He always spoke fondly of his MGB Roadster that he owned in his younger days.

Bruce is survived by his brothers, Russ (Colleen), his identical twin, Garry (Barbara), Brian, and Craig, as well as nephew, Chad; nieces, Rachael (Rob) and Hillary (Doug); and great nieces and nephews.
