I just found this site and am pleased to see Uncle Bruce honored in this way. One thing that all 4 of the Zincke "kids" share is a love for Fullerton Union High School. My father, Chuck, certainly passed that on through Margaret and I. I thank whoever so thoughtfully wrote this loving tribute for a gentle and funny family man.

We were saddened to hear that Bruce had passed away.
He was a close friend and co-worker of our neighbors, John and Sam Hensley. That is how we got to know him.
May he rest in peace.
