Fencil

Bruce Wayne Fencil, 62, of Butler passed away at his home Wednesday after having fought a brief and courageous battle with cancer.

The first of four siblings, Bruce was born in Butler on April 9, 1950, to Wayne R. Fencil and Norma “Jean” (Love) Fencil.

He grew up being an avid learner and loved to spend time with his family and friends enjoying hunting, fishing, bowling and camping. On May 22, 1971, Bruce married his lovely wife, Mary “Pauline” (Hilliard), and they shared the next 40 years together in marriage.

Bruce's true passion in life was love for his family. Most importantly, he loved being a grandfather to his five grandchildren and enjoyed spending as much time with them as he could.

Bruce was employed as a quality control manager for ESM.

Surviving are his wife, Pauline; his sons, Jason and Jennifer Fencil, and Adam Fencil and Erin Thatch; his grandchildren, Madelyn, Braedon, Monica, Tyler and Emily; one brother, Scott and Karen Fencil; sister-in-laws, Linda Fencil and Verreline Kuhn; brothers-in-law, Norman and Sharon Hilliard, and Joseph and Cathy Hilliard; three aunts; three uncles; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne Fencil in 2000 and Jean Fencil in 2003; and his brothers, Paul L. Fencil in 2007 and Kevin H. Fencil in 2005.
