I remember Bruce when I was just a little child. He has been close to my family for many years and we will miss him dearly. Especially Mom, Bruce and Mom were real buddies and he was always there for her through the years. Our hearts and prayers go out to all his family and friends, who carry heavy hearts at this time. It is sad he has gone on but lucky him to not have to suffer anymore and to finally be at peace.
We love you Brucey.... Diane and kids

Dear Nelson & Miriam: Please accept my condolences by way of this book as I do not have your number and could not speak to you directly. It was wonderful meeting you when you were here in New York and spending time with him last month. You brought up a truly wonderful man and I will miss him always. Karen

I remember Bruce well when I was a young boy growing up in Huntington. It has been many years since I last saw him but do remember only kind words from him. I pray that God's peace will be with Uncle Nelson, Aunt Dottie and all the extended family during this time of grieving. May the love of Christ be with you all.
