My Uncle Bruce was an amazing person. He was always the life of the party and was always joking. Now that he is gone, he will always be in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. He was an amazing father figure to me and an amazing god-father. He always made sure I was being the best person I could be. My heart does break, now that he is gone. But he will always have a special place in my heart. Uncle Bruce, please watch over everyone and say hi to my father. You were always the one that kept my father close to my heart. I love you very much and I miss you. I am glad that I did have the opportunity to say good-bye and that I loved you . You went in peace and that’s all that matters. Don't worry about any of us, we will make it through this tough time. Then before you know it, we will meet again. Once again, Thanks for always being there and being such an amazing person that i could look up too. And Forever, you will always be in my heart!
Love Always,
Stacie

Linda, Lyn-Marie, Billy, Kathleen, Jimmy, Colby, Kylee, Aaron, and William,
Jay and I and the kids would like to say how sorry we are for the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather! He will always be in our heart! Stay strong and remember we will always be there for each one of you!
Bruce was a great husband to you Linda, a wonderful father to the three children, and a special grandfather to the kids! Most of all he was a great brother-in-law, and father figure to Chris, Andrew, and Stacie when ever they needed him! He also was a great Godfather to Stacie! I am so glad that we have all the wonderful memories of Bruce, but the happiest memory is the day Jay and I got married when he was having so much fun playing pool. Jay told me that was the happiest day because you Linda had the biggest smile on your face and Bruce was having so much fun! It was one of his good days! I am proud to say Bruce Ransom was my Brother-in-law! We will miss him, but I know he is in peace now with everyone that has gone before us! Til we met again Bruce..God Bless and We love you!

Love,
Jay, Cheryl, Chris, Andrew, Stacie, and Richie

Dear Linda and Bruce's entire family,
I am so sorry for your loss, Bruce was a wonderful person and he was always good to me. When we were younger we use to meet at the Hollow for dinner and solve all the problems of the world.
I am so sorry that I did not get to see him more often, while we were raising our families. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to speak with Bruce at my mother's wake, I know how difficult it was for him to travel, but knowing Bruce we knew he would come, because that is the person who Bruce was, a very caring, loving person and I knew he loved my Mom. Please know that Bruce will always be in my heart.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this sad time. Bruce is at peace with his brothers, parents and my mom and brother.
sincerely and lovingly, cathy, richie, jen and david
