Bruce was very kind and had a wonderful sense of humor. We always enjoyed being around him. While he lived out of state for many years we weren't able to spend a lot of time, but he made it fun when he was around. He will be missed by our whole family.

Bruce was a good man. A hard worker that loved his wife dearly. His smile and laughter always lit up a room. Nancy, you are in our thoughts and prayers. May your 20 years of memories sustain you in the coming days.

I'll always remember my Uncle Bruce for his gentle heart, loving nature, and for the smile he always wore at all times. Uncle Bruce was a good man, and one that remembered the meaning of honour. My memories of him will be charished in my heart always, may he lend me his smile. Farewell, Uncle Bruce. -Your Little Buddy-
