Bruce was an amazing human being. Linda, Bruce loved and adored you! Emily and Rebecca, your daddy was never prouder knowing that your were his girls! Bruce was an amazing and awesome husband, daddy and brother! I know the love he had for his wife and girls because he spoke of that daily to me. The world is a much sadder place without our Bruce. Love, Sue

On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Linda, Emily, and Rebecca, as well as the rest of Bruce's family and
friends, and we would like you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Bruce Springle was a great person, something that is a fact to everyone who knew him. Bruce taught me everything I know about volleyball and was an awesome coach. Bruce always went out of his way for everyone else. One time I went to a University of Pennsylvania volleyball game with him and Emily and it is one of my most treasured memories. Though my path has veered from volleyball into high school rowing, I find that much of what Bruce taught his players in terms of lifestyle and attitude has stayed with me. Bruce is one of my heroes and lives on in everyone whose heart he touched.

Sincerely, Margaret Patchin

My walks to school will never be the same with out the regular beep bruce would give. Now when I go I still will feel the beeps in my heart. Also the times at the swim club when I was younger were amazing. I will also miss our conversations after my races. When I run for the rest of forever i know you will carry me to the finish. I know that he is out there making me a better person.

With Love Frank Miklosey

To Linda, Emily and Rebecca, the Springle Family and the Luczak Family,
Our condolences and deepest sympathies to all of you. I have had the honor of singing with Bruce and his Mother-in-Law, Ruth, in St. Luke's choir for nearly 15 years. Bruce always had a quick sense of humor. Hearing his rich, harmonious bass voice always made me smile inside. May his light sense of humor and love for music always lighten your hearts. We will truly miss him. God Bless all of you at this time. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. The Hart Family

Linda, Emily & Rebecca:
My heart stopped a beat when I heard of Bruce's passing. Tom and I remember all the fun we had with you and Bruce while you were dating, playing volleyball and seeing our children grow together in Campbell's daycare center. Bruce was the ultimate entertainer, lighting up the room with his genuinely unique sense of humor. Watching him with the girls, singing and playing his guitar will always remind us of Bruce being Bruce. Seeing the smiles he brought to everyone's face, especially you and the girls, showed his love of family and friends. Please stay strong, he will always be with you. Our sincere condolences, Judi, Tom, Shane & Ian
