Obituary for Bruce W. Halse
PORT CHARLOTTE, FL - Bruce Walter Halse, 74, formerly of Latham, died peacefully surrounded by his loving family Friday, November 15, 2019 at Tidewell Hospice House in Port Charlotte, FL. He was born in Troy, NY on June 18, 1945. He was the son on the late Walter and Mary Riggione Halse.
He was raised in North Greenbush and graduated from Troy High School. He later graduated from the Orlo School of Hair Design and Cosmetology.
He opened Bruce's Glamour Chalet in Latham in 1965 and operated the business for almost 50 years. He lived most of his adult life in Latham but retired to Port Charlotte, FL 5 years ago.
He loved traveling and visiting the beach. He was an avid golfer and had a love for classic cars, boating and the New York Jets.

Bruce's family would like to thank Rick and Jennifer Rodrigues and Pam and Bill Roberts for being such wonderful friends over the years.
Bruce was hard working, kind and caring. He went above and beyond for his friends, family and customers. He was a tease and jokester and he loved to make people laugh. His family and friends will miss that sense of humor and kind heart the most.
