George Bruce Quenneville
December 21, 1946 — September 7, 2012
Quenneville, George Bruce
Parchment, MI Bruce left us suddenly on September 7, 2012. He was born in Uxbridge, MA, on December 21, 1946. He was the son of Raymond and Marion Little Quenneville. His grandfather George Little was the local doctor and delivered him. At the age of 3, the family moved to Royal Oak, MI, where Bruce grew up. He attended Kentucky Military Institute in Louisville, KY for 3 years of high school, then moved back to Royal Oak and graduated from Kimball High School in 1965. He attended Boston University and graduated from Central Michigan University in 1971. Bruce leaves behind his two sons, Courtney Ray and Scott William fiancé Amanda, his companion/partner Jean Harden, and his former wife and mother of his children, Marietta Quenneville. Also surviving are his two sisters, Marion Rae Belyae Ivan and Joyce Lower Michael Rhodes, cousin Prudence, and many other cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents. His sister Joyce's research showed that he could trace his lineage on his father's side back to Charlemagne and on his mother's side back to the Mayflower. Bruce moved to Kalamazoo in 2004. He and Jean renovated three homes and were landlords in the Stuart neighborhood and active in the Stuart Neighborhood Association. Additionally, Bruce recently served on the steering committee for Arcadia Commons West. Prior to this, Bruce worked for Cunningham Limp industrial construction company in Detroit and owned R B Builders with his father in Gaylord, which focused on building vacation homes. He was an avid Kentucky Derby fan since before his high school days. He enjoyed traveling, sports, and live theater and concerts. He was a soccer coach in Gaylord, and involved also in supporting his boys in Boy Scouts, wrestling, cross-country, track, forensics and traveling activities. The family will receive friends at Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Memorial Chapel, 622 South Burdick on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 11am followed by a memorial to Bruce's life at 12pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Democratic Party or ACLU.
