He was the first of 3 Boys. They lived in Usibelli where his father was a coal miner. Winter time in the interior was cold in those days. Once they had a temperature of 67 degrees below zero. His mother would go for walks taking Bruce in a pack on her back and a blanket to block the cold air. It was always dark that time of year. The sun didn’t rise far enough to come over the hill by the coal tipple, So Bruce never saw the sun until they left on a Ferry heading for Seattle, then on to Dubois, when he was 4 months old. His first ferry ride had been a short visit to Nell and Ray Rose in Cordova when he was about 2 months old. Bruce lived a lot in the woods, in his early years because his parents cut wood and posts & poles for a living around Dubois. One of the many areas he lived was in the Horse Creek Campground, where he lived in a tent. His bed was a banana box, with all his clothes under him for padding and all his baby blankets on top for warmth, mittens & hat, the nights were cold. Bruce and his mother would go for walks to occupy their time. Bruce loved to gather sticks with his mother and sit on the ground and build log houses. Then he was moved back to Alaska to live in Cordova. He was almost 4 years old by then. Bruce was a very good boy and was always busy and trying to please his parents. He had a new baby brother born in Sep of 1975, Jared Joseph Stamper, Mom would stand Bruce at the end of the overstuffed chair and ask him to watch his new 2-month old brother while she went out to bring in wood or go to the outhouse. Bruce was always responsible. He had to be back then! Bruce had friends that would come to visit and one was Shawna Titterington! He learned an important lesson one day! Mom kept saying to share your Lincoln logs with Shawna, but he wouldn’t and laid down on top of all the logs and proceeded to have a little fit, so mom picked up all the Lincoln logs and dumped them in the stove to burn! Bruce stood there with an amazed look on his face! And that day he learned to share with everyone. He was always a good big brother to his brothers, trying to watch over them and guide them for the good. They bounced back and forth from Cordova to Wyoming a few times. When they came down one time Bruce got a new baby brother, Amos Levi Stamper, born in August of 1979. Finally making their home outside of Dubois. While growing up he had many responsibilities. He developed his own lawn mowing service. He bought his own lawn mower, and got his farmers permit so he could drive to and fro and made a little money. Once In a while his parents would hear people say, “Saw Bruce in the newspaper”, Worried, I would look and it would be for being student of the month. His friends respected him and he was always a leader for good. His mom never had to worry because he was always doing something productive. While in high school he would have sports and a job on the side. He worked at the Dubois Cold Storage. His name was on the door, for hunters to call in the middle of the night, so he would get up in the night and skin sheep, moose, deer, elk and all. Then he would go home to sleep for a few minutes before his alarm went off for school. One summer he worked for the Forest Service. He would pack up and be gone for a week or so at a time clearing trails and cutting poles. He once had a friend go with him and at night they were sitting around the campfire and he kept turning a rock by the fire and his friend questioned why. He told him that he would later use that warm rock in his sleeping bag to stay warm. That sounded like a good idea, so he tossed his rock in the fire. It wasn’t long after they went to bed that he heard a ruckus in the tent next door. His friend had gotten his rock too hot and melted his sleeping bag! Bruce loved the outdoors and loved to work. He loved to camp with his brothers. One time they wanted to go camping and it was snowing, so rather than argue mom just said go and have fun. They did, across the road and up in the hills. It was snowing pretty good. They let Amos have the matches to start the fire and by the time they set up camp they had no matches and no fire. They ate raw biscuits and hamburger. Dad checked on them later. But they had no fear, their brother Bruce was leading them. He was a Boy Scout under the training of Gay Baker. He did well. Learning everything from sleeping on lake ice to picking up pine cones for Forest Service. At about 17 he decided he wanted to go to Alaska to work. He had an old car, of his own and his parents told him if he would call the canneries in Cordova and have a job ready, and could pay for his own gas they would let him drive the Alcan. He got a job and off he went. He would work long hours at the cannery and then he would walk the docks to ask every captain on every boat if they were looking for a crew member. He found someone who would hire him on a Seine boat and the work began. He earned quite a bit and at summers close was very happy and tired. He took his first pay check and cashed it and fanned all his 100 dollar bills out for a picture. He returned home to school and graduated from Dubois High in 1991. The same school that his mother and father had gone to, and later his own children. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Santa Rosa, California for 2 years. After which, he was married to Melissa Hickman in 1993. They were blessed with his 1st child, Cody Austin Stamper in 1995. They owned B&M Log Homes here in Dubois where they made turned logs. They later divorced and he moved to Salmon, Idaho and lived with his Uncle Pete and Aunt Sheila for a time. He tried his hand at bull riding for a time and had several accidents with the bulls. He once got bucked off and split his head open. He went to the vet and got stitched up because it was cheaper than the hospital. He worked at a mine there in Salmon for a time before he started his own log home company again. In February of 1999, his friends & future in-laws, Summer & Robert Chaffin set him up on a blind date with Summer’s sister, Crystal who was attending college at the time. It didn’t matter that they were 8 years apart in age, after the 2nd date, Crystal knew she was going to marry him (although she didn’t share that with him). After 3 ½ months he asked her to marry him. They were married on September 24, 1999 at one of the beautiful log homes that he built in Salmon, Idaho. They were later sealed for time and all eternity to each other in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple in April 2001. They were blessed with 3 more wonderful children over the next 5 years. Dakota Gregory Stamper in 2002 Olivia Anne Stamper in 2003 Deshka Stamper in 2007. He loved his family and everything he did was for his family or friends. While living in Salmon, they owned and operated Salmon River Log Homes where they built many handcrafted log homes, staircases, entrance gates and trusses. His work can be found from California to Michigan to Alaska. He always took great pride in his work and even had a home featured in Log Home Living magazine. Bruce and Crystal took a trip in 2006 to Alaska and backpacked from Anchorage where they visited his Uncle Charles & Aunt Donna. They then rode the train to Whittier and caught the ferry to Cordova. They never would have imagined that in just 3 short months, they would have bought a commercial fishing permit and boat and 1 acre of land. They sold their log home business and started a new chapter in life as a commercial fisherman for salmon. After several years of strictly fishing all season, he was asked by several boat captains to be their spot pilot for seining. He loved flying and took good care of his boats that he fished for. He kept his plane at their house on the lake. He took several hunting/fishing trips with Dakota where they would land on a lake and spend several days enjoying the outdoors and instilling that love into his children. It didn’t matter whether they were working or playing, they always did it as a family. He was a great example to his children, friends and community. Always willing to drop everything to help a neighbor. Bruce loved the gospel of Jesus Christ and service work. He always tried to involve his family in many new things and new experiences. He wanted his children to experience life, to see a good world, to love the gospel, to not be afraid of new challenges and to be kind to all. His wife was his life, and will always, for time and eternity, be his companion. This separation is only a little moment in this world. We know he is still working, he never could sit still for long.
