Bruce Quicker

Bruce G. Quicker, 82, of Lambertville, passed away on Friday, May 5, 2023. He was born in Sheboygan, WI to Carl and Petronella (Leonhard) Quicker on May 23, 1940. Throughout his life, Bruce excelled in many working roles; his most prominent was starting Toledo Industrial Maintenance Supply, first on Upton Avenue, then moving to Hill Avenue after his business grew. He owned and managed the business for over 20 years. He also contributed endless hours to Oasis Mediterranean Cuisine as a consultant. Bruce was a determined man who worked hard his entire life, not retiring until his health required him to do so at the age of 80. A good meal, gathering with family, and gardening are all things Bruce was passionate about. He was the best at sharing stories, which have now become legends. He was a charismatic, outgoing, wonderful man who will be deeply missed.
