Cheryl, I was shocked to recently learn of Bruce's untimely passing. It's hard to believe that a guy who loved life as much as he did is gone way too soon. I know there are many warm and wonderful memories that will continue to bring you comfort. He was so ornery and always was laughing or making other people laugh, inluding me. Such a good soul who is now cracking up everyone he meets in heaven. My belated but deepest sympathies to you all.

Bruce and I met in 4th grade at Beechwood Elem. We were on "school patrol" in the 5th grade, he was our Lt. what a hoot. He was a good friend to Eddie Lewis who had cerebral palsy. Bruce would help Eddie finish his paper route. We had such great times in school and were friends all through school. I am so happy to hear that Bruce had a loving and happy life and family. My sincere condolences to all of your family... I remember him fondly. Sincerely,

My thoughts and prayers are you with you Sheryl. He was an awesome friend and the best neighbor. I witnessed such a wonderful marriage and friendship for the last 10 years. I will think of him every night with the tree frogs croaking and the squirrels running wild. He was the best and will be missed by our entire family.

Bruce and I met at a neighborhood get together about 12 years ago and shared a special bond when we realized that we both went to Whitehall Yearling HS. From then on he and his sweet loving wife Cheryl and my husband Brad and I became great friends. On New Years Eve, 2004 we added my Brother KD Moore and his wife Cindy to the group where we started a tradition of celebrating New Years Eve together every year after that!! We have many fond memories to hold on to but will miss his smiling face and generous spirit dearly!

To Cheryl, take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. As the days and weeks pass and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I will be there for you when and however you need me. Love you like a Sister! Sail on Bruce until we meet again.
