CARIBOU — Bruce A. Gustafson, 56, died October 2, 2015 at Bangor. He was born in Caribou May 4, 1959, the son of the late John and Sondra (Kinney) Gustafson.
Bruce was an avid wrestling fan, practical joker, and leg- endary long haul trucker, per- haps more well known to some by his CB handle “Bridgecrosser” and his lesser known alter ego, “Rifleman”. Recognized by his day-to-day uniform of Levi 501s and a solid colored Hanes Tee with a front pocket, Bruce brought joy to everyone he was able to, from his first to final day. Shoveling coal, cooking burgers or using his driving skills for hours on end were what brought happiness to his heart, and he was sure to never let the dust settle beneath his feet. He is sur- vived by his two sons and a daughter- in-law, Bruce and Ashley Gustafson Jr. of Trenton and Brad Gustafson of Brewer; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Craig and Joyce Gustafson of Jacksonville, FL., Brian and Tammy Gustafson of Cape Coral, FL., and Jay and Linda Gustafson of Woodland; two grandchildren, Elise and Gracie.
