Sorry to hear of the passing of Bruce. He always had a smile and was a pleasure to be with. Not only was he a fellow Ford employee, he was also a fellow Marine. We will miss him.

Bruce is a generous spirit who put aside his own interests to help others. He was an angel to my family when I needed him. I will never forget his kindness and will always look for ways to pass it on.
