R. Bruce Elwell was born December 13, 1930 and passed away on March 7, 1998.
He originally was from Cambridge, Mass., and bought his home in California City 
in 1980. He was a Korean veteran. For nine years he was an active member of The 
California City Friends of the Library where he served as treasurer for four years. 
Being a member of the Community Church of California City he enjoyed his time as 
Lay Reader and usher. He mastered the art of model plane and ship building. He 
also spent much of this time with helping foundations for domestic and large 
endangered felines.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 43 years, Madge; son, Bruce Stanley, 
daughter-in-law, Jenny Adams; and grandchildren, Brian and Rachael.
With our special thanks, the family of R. Bruce Elwell wishes to express their 
gratitude to the overwhelming response of his friends and acquaintances who 
honored his memory by attending his memorial. A very special expression of 
gratitude goes to Rev. Sparks and the Fuller family for their complete support at 
such a difficult time. The prayers, remembrances, flowers and the tremendous food 
provided by the ladies of our church was much appreciated. Our thankful hearts 
also to those who made charitable contributions
