Mr. Bruder was born February 25, 1928, in Rogers City, Michigan, the son of Edward and Agatha Bruder in Roger's City, Mich.

He attended Emanuel Baptist Church in Midland, Mich., and was Pastor of Sanford 1st Baptist Church in Sanford, Mich. He ministered to the sick in nursing homes and in their own homes and to the troubled in jails and prisons.
Milt was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed camping with his family. His favorite was Otsego Lake state park in Gaylord, Mich. He loved swimming, hiking, hunting with his boys and daughter as well as his grandchildren, and he enjoyed teaching them all outdoor skills. He also loved to read a good book. When he and his wife moved to Pagosa Springs, Colo., he continued to hunt for elk and deer with his two sons, Steve and Thomas. He loved the spectacular beauty of Colorado and all it had to offer.
