In loving memory of Bruce Aichroth, beloved husband to wife Dorothy Aichroth for 58 years. Dorothy passed after a long battle with strokes in March of this year.

Bruce grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania along with his three brothers, Wes, Calvin, Bud, and his sisters, June, Caroline and Ruth. Bruce left his home to serve his country first as a U.S. Marine and then continued and finished his military career retiring in the
U.S. Air Force.
Bruce finished his working years at the Sacramento Children's Home until he retired to spend the rest of his days with his family. The Children's Home was a place where Bruce continued showing his love for children by watching over them a a guard every night with his dog Apollo. Bruce's love for children also found him often playing Santa Claus at the Cal Expo Tree Lot during the holiday. Bruce enjoyed horse racing, bowling, watching football, making homemade soups and being with his loved ones.
