So sorry to hear this news. I was in Dodge City and tried to look him up a few days before this happened. I remember all the good times we had and all the mutual friends we shared. Adios amigo!

Dick and I send our love and condolences to Lois and the family. We first met Bruce and Lois at Eminence UMC 8 years ago. Bruce was kind, caring, soft spoken and readily shared his journey of becoming a Christian with us. Heaven must be a bit brighter with this very special man who truly lived the life of a Christian.
In Christ,
Dick and Rhonda Hunt
