The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 74 honors the life and public service of Senator Bruce S. Peloquin, who passed away on October 2, 2024, at the age of 87. Born in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, he had a diverse career as a public servant, business executive, and school psychologist. Peloquin's political journey began with two unsuccessful runs for the Chippewa Falls City Council, followed by a tenure on the Chippewa County Board and his election to the Wisconsin Assembly in 1964. He later served in the Wisconsin Senate from 1971 to 1979, where he was involved in various committees and made significant contributions to education and child welfare legislation.

In addition to his political achievements, Peloquin was known for his varied work experiences, including roles in the cement industry, bartending, and as a licensed school psychologist. He was also an avid golfer and woodworker, known for his creative projects, including the construction of a recycled house and a timber cross at a local sacred site. The resolution expresses the Wisconsin Legislature's condolences to his family and friends, recognizing Peloquin's wit, wisdom, and generosity, as well as his lasting impact on the community and state.
