PORTLAND PRESS HERALD - 5 February 2002:
*************************************
Bruce Galeucia, age 52, of Springvale, died on February 4 after an illness.
He was a big fellow, an active one who had an incredible mind.
He was an outdoorsman who enjoyed the woods, hunting, fishing, and being just as far up in the woods as one could get. He enjoyed Baker Lake, the ocean, and he used to trap.
He enjoyed sitting in his old Canadian rocker and reading, he tore through books and remembered what he read.
"He would sit in front of 'Jeopardy', and he had knowledge of just about everything," said his wife, Stephanie Galeucia. "Politics, sports, history, he had an incredible, incredible mind. And he was funny, he definitely could tell a story," his wife said. "He had tremendous humor."
He was a laid-back guy who pretty much always wore flannel shirts and blue jeans - hated neckties.
For 23 years, he was a Maine game warden, mostly working in York County. For the past three years, he made ice cream for Shaine's
of Maine. Both jobs were appropriate.
He was also quite the cook. "Chowders like you wouldn't believe," his wife said. "He was an excellent cook and always searching for new recipes."
He loved his children and grandchildren, and was active with his children in sports.
He also volunteered to help in his community and was very involved with the Springvale Fish and Game Club.
He was instrumental in organizing a children's fishing derby. "To see the smile on those kids' faces when they caught a fish, or maybe won a prize at the end of the derby, is what made it for Bruce," Carroll Goodwin, his partner from his years at the Warden Service said. He said that Mr. Galeucia had a sharp mind for efficiency as well as for humor, and developed the annual tagging day for trappers. Instead of wardens going out to the hundreds of trappers, the trappers, on a particular day, would go to one location. The event has been a success, both socially and professionally.
"He had a love of kids, a love of life," Goodwin said. "He had a great lot of faith in folks and looked for the best in people, even when they were on the wrong side of the law, and he treated everyone fairly."
