Ian Douglas Bruce died on February 3, 2006, of complications from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. He was a software engineer with Lucent Technologies for over twenty years, during which time he pursued his hobbies of sailing, woodworking, photography and gardening. While at Dartmouth, Ian was a member of Gamma Delta Chi and participated in the Jack-O-Lantern and Forensic Union. He is survived by his wife, Janice, née Schuler, and twin daughters Elizabeth and Margaret, all of Winfield, Illinois. Jan remembers many conversations with Ian about his appreciation for the Dartmouth experience and his hope that his girls, soon to be high school freshmen, would have interest in attending the College. Ian liked to challenge himself by solving problems and took special joy in watching his daughters develop their creativity and participate in school and sporting events. Ian told Jan he did not appreciate long obituaries, so we will end sharing the sadness and loss she and the family are feeling.
