HOUSATONIC, Mass. Bruce Sherwood Barnum, age 71, died on Jan. 14, 2021, at The Landing at Laurel Lake, his
residence for the last five years.
Born on July 3, 1949, he was the son of Bethuel S. and Mildred (Snyder) Barnum.
A lifelong resident of Housatonic, Bruce attended Housatonic Elementary School, Searles Middle School, and Monument Mountain Regional High School. He worked at various supermarket chains since 1974 throughout Great Barrington.
He was a member of The Grange since 1985 and an active lifelong member of Housatonic United Methodist Church and then Alford Community Church when the churches merged.
Never one to withhold his opinion, Bruce always spoke his mind. He was an avid sports fan. The Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots, and Kentucky Basketball were always on his tv when they were winning.
