My old friend......I sit here thinking of you, Mark V and me in those early days in '87 as I came to know Bill W. I will always cherish the memories of the three of us going out for coffee on a Friday night.....too much coffee but lots of laughs.....it felt so good to be a part of something bigger than me (still does)......I can still hear you telling me....DDGTM and AFH.......you are now one of my angels..........
You are missed by many......

To Bruce's family,
I'm saddened and terribly sorry for your loss. Bruce and I were good acquaintences. I've personally witnessed Bruce help dozens of people. I'll always be grateful for the power of example that Bruce strove to be through his commitment to people.

Honest and hard working, Bruce was a rock of sanity and clear thinking in my life. He was a mentor, friend, and his loss will leave a hole in my life. I never knew anyone that worked harder on himself, I never knew anyone more honest. He did not judge, I will miss him .

To the family I send My Prayers! My Life was enhanced by having known Bruce. I truly share your loss. To Bruce; Brother I still await the time when I shall know the PEACE, that is now with you. I believe that Goodness and Mercy have followed you through all of your Days and that you have been an example of the miracles that I have come to believe possible. You have inspired me from the time we met, as is true with many, the time together was to little and so many things still went unsaid. I remember our last conversation and the peace you were seeking, has now come unto you. And now you shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever! Brother I will miss you and rejoice in your everlasting PEACE! You are home now and at rest, and this brings me joy. MT41'

Bruce,
As a fellow Marine, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. Also, to Bruce's family, my brother Bobby was friends with Bruce back in the 80's and when as a teenager in high school, I mentioned that I wanted to join the Marines, Bruce "motivated" me to get off the couch, stop watching television and eating Doritos and to get into the right frame of mind and start getting ready for Boot Camp. Well, I served in the USMC from '85-'89 and from time to time when I still lived in Randolph, I would run into Bruce and I would always thank him for his bluntness in what to expect at Boot Camp and for helping me out.
