I was really sorry to hear that Bryce had passed. I think about him and Mitzy often. The last time I saw him was at the pot luck for Mitzy when she pasted. I had planed to visit him and just never got around to it.. I really regret that. I also regret that I can't come to the pot luck for him. I'm out of town in Yuma AZ. till April 4th.,
Bryce taught me most everything I know about moving and setting Manufactured Homes. I bought his mobile tow truck from him when he retired. He taught me how to drive it and I'm still making a living with that truck. I owe him a great deal.
I will always remember his big smile, his humor and how hard Mitzy and he worked.
He will surely be missed by his family, friends and me
