Cheri , Joanne and the boys say our prayers every night for Bruce. Bruce was loved by alot of people that will miss him. We would talk about Bruce umpiring Baseball games. We would try to find out where and when and try to get to the feild. But we never did get to see him umpire and that I will miss that forever. I always would enjoy his company, he was a great guy. Our prayers are for him and you entire family for I know he will be missed by us all. I lost my father at 9 and I still miss him. If you need any help with the boys, they can stay with my boys when needed, we are here for you Cheri, Love to your whole family, Jamie J Juhase and Joanne C and Jonah, Jacob, and Jordan you are in our prayers
