Bruce Saintignon
Bruce Edward Saintignon, age 62, of Montezuma, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 2, 2018 with his family by his side at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center following a brief illness.
He was born November 26, 1955 in Tacoma, Washington to Alvin E. and the late Mary Ann (Muhlenkamp) Saintignon; his father survives in Celina. He married Lois A. (Kuck) on November 25, 2000 and she survives in Montezuma.
He is also survived by his children: Alan & Jenny Saintignon of New Bremen, Lee Ann Saintignon of Celina, Carl Saintignon of Ft. Recovery, Janice & Doug Holdheide of Maria Stein, and Tim & Wendi Saintignon of Celina; three grandsons: Luke & Seth Saintignon and Oliver Holdheide with another grandson due this summer. His former wife Lorraine (Kunk) Saintignon of Rockford; his siblings: Carol & Alan Kruse, Rick & Michelle Saintignon, Connie & Cliff Rempfer and Elaine & Dan Baumer; and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his mother and two infant brothers, Timothy and Randall.
Bruce was a 1974 graduate of Celina Senior High School, Lima Technical College with a degree as a real estate agent and the Reppert School of Auctioneering. He began Auctioneering in his early teens at Heinie's dog races. He started Saintignon Excavating in 1975 and it continues today.
Bruce believed passionately in what he thought was right, he had a great sense of humor and underneath a gruff exterior, a soft heart. He was very patriotic and proud of his family's service. He never knew a stranger and he very much enjoyed exploring the country on his motorcycles with 2 very good friends Marty Wilker and Lee Kuck, both now deceased. He loved to cook and grill and heartily enjoyed shooting trap with his children and grandsons.
