Bruce Edward Schneider was born September 29, 1953, in New Ulm to Alois and Cecilia (Klement) Schneider.  Growing up in rural New Ulm, Bruce attended and was a 1972 graduate from Cathedral High School.  He furthered his education in North Carolina where he worked to become a heavy equipment operator.  Early in his career, he used his education as heavy equipment operator while working full time for Boelter Construction as well as farming his family's century farm in Sigel Township.  Later in life, Bruce continued to farm, while also working for Kraft Foods in New Ulm.  He eventually retired from farming in 2022.  Bruce was united in marriage to Nancy Riegel on August 11, 1990, at the St. John's Lutheran Church in Elmore, Minnesota.  Besides his work, Bruce enjoyed watching good old westerns on tv, and socializing with neighbors, and playing cards with friends. Farmall tractors and Ford Mustang's always held a special place in Bruce's heart his entire life.  Bruce was a member of Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New Ulm.  May these memories, and countless others forever stay in the hearts and minds of all who knew him best.  Blessed be his memory.
