Bruce was born in Augsburg, Germany on August 1, 1953, to Ernest Ware and Lucille Blackwell Hammons, both of Mississippi. He grew up in Pollock, Louisiana, and moved to West Monroe in 1971. Bruce was a devoted and loving husband to his wife of 29 years, Jill Hammons; a proud and caring father to his son, Aaron DeLong, and his daughter, Alicia DeLong; a proud grandfather to his three grandsons, Toshan, Sajan, and Elliot, and granddaughter, Amara. Bruce was also a loving father-in-law to Sheila and Jason; a sweet nephew to Aunt Billie; an amazing baby brother to Kathleen, Ernie, John, and Lou, a wonderful brother-in-law to Sandra, Su, and Bruce, and always "the cool uncle" to all his nieces and nephews. Additionally, Bruce was a friend for life to many people he crossed paths with. Bruce worked at Monroe Welding Supply for over 30 years. He loved his job and considered those he worked with a second family. His passions in life included excitement for basketball and football, well- written fiction books, blues music, a good cup of coffee, sweet treats, and bacon, a new love for playing golf, as well as an unwavering love for any and all puppy-dogs. Above all else though, Bruce's love for family and friends stood out. He put people and relationships as his highest priority, and loved nothing more than spending time with loved ones and putting smiles on the faces of those around him.
