To Bruce's Family,
I was very sad to see Bruce's obituary in the paper yesterday. He was my boss at the Sears Service Center in Eden Prairie during my last years working for Sears. He was wonderful to work with and always very encouraging. I used to run into him when I walked my dogs past the house in Eden Prairie. My condolences to your family during this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Diane Turnbull

We will forever remember and love Uncle Bruce. Such a nice and layed back guy. Our hearts break that he is gone, but we are also thankful to have known him. We are also very thanful that he did have a chance to meet his newest great niece Hazel on mothers day. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Carroll and your children.

Hugs
Michelle, Joe, Michael, Emma and Hazel

To Bruce's family....
I wasn't a household name by any means. Bruce and I were pals back in the late 50's and early 60's in Bloomington MN. He entered the service. I went to work for Sears. Years later we met at the Brookdale Store. He in Management, me in sales. Bruce was a good friend. He would have given me the shirt off his back. Rest in peace friend. Keep his memories alive by talking of him often.
