It's been 10 years but I do think of Bruce, in fact I was thinking of him this week.

I loved sitting in front of Bruce when we sang in choir together. I was proud to sing a song that he loved and a song that had moved me when he sang it at his memorial.
His strong opinions and unassuming demeanor made him unique and wonderful.
I will miss seeing him come in the back door to the Narthex every Sunday.
Till we meet again, Bruce.

I have known Bruce for seven years, he was a quite man with a engaging smile. We talked about many topics before church and at coffee hour. Bruce had a beautiful tenor voice and we enjoyed listening to him sing. You will be missed Bruce.

Bruce was a valued member of Tibbetts UMC. His beautiful tenor voice graced our worship services many times. He was a quiet, private person, a faithful Christian and churchman in the best sense of that word. He will be deeply missed by his church family.

This photo was taken 2/21/2010. Bruce loved to sing. He is the 2nd gentleman from the right in the back row.

Bruce always had a smiling face and gentle demeanor when we would greet eachother during passing the peace of Christ on Sundays. I did not know him beyond this experience for three years, but I know I will miss his calm energy and smiling face.
