I know Raymond B. Eccles as "Mr. Bruce". Rhonda, Lamond and Shawn and I grew up together. They were then and will always be my sister and brother. But Mr. Bruce was like my second daddy. He was a kind and gentle man that loved his family. There wasn't anything that he wouldn't do for you. I remember how he would paint cars in his big garage, the band he had and that big orange pickup truck. He will always be loved and remembered by me!

Love,

Trina (formerly Trina Cunningham)
