Not sure what to say?





I don't think a day goes by that I do't think about Bruce. He is in the same cemetery as my brother every time I see one I see the other. Great guy.

There are never really words to say at a time like this. Bruce was the kind of guy that would help a person in need, share a beer, and just a wonderful man. He will be missed.
