Thomas Berry Bruce[1] (August 16, 1919 – October 12, 1994)[2] [3] was the Mississippi executioner active from 1957 until 1987.[4] He executed between 14 and 16 people,[5] including Jimmy Lee Gray,[6] during his career. For many years, his wife was unaware of his occasional duty; she thought that he only marketed fruits and vegetables to grocery stores. All of his executions were conducted using the gas chamber.
