August 19, 1955 - July 8, 2017
Bruce John Anderton, 61, passed away on July 8, 2017 in Napa, CA. Born on August 19, 1955 to Edwin Anderton and Charlotte Cappadona Anderton, he was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle, cousin and friend. Bruce was preceded in death by his Father Edwin (Andy) Anderton, his brothers Michael James Anderton and Frank Joseph Anderton, and his companion Gretchen (Sissy) Salin. He is survived by his mother, Charlotte Mary Anderton, his sisters Kathleen Mary Paulus (Jack) and Ellen Anderton Glass (David), former spouse Teri Burr, daughter Beth Leanne Anderton, nephew Jake Anderton Paulus and niece Kristy Anderton Milton. Bruce, a native Napan, went to St. John the Baptist Catholic School and Justin-Siena High School. In his life, he worked for Caltrans, as a Supervisor at McDonalds, as a contractor, and for Ace Hardware. All of his working environments were made better by his inventiveness and sharp-witted humor. Bruce loved BBQing, amusement parks, laughing, music, pets, comedians, watching football, fairs, playing games, road trips, basically anything fun. Mostly, he loved making people laugh. He will be greatly missed by his family and any person who ever knew him; and there were many. A service will be held at Claffey & Rota (1975 Main St. in Napa) on Saturday, August 5 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers or donations, please consider honoring Bruce's memory by taking a day and doing something fun with someone you love— a joy Bruce greatly valued.
