I received word of Bruce's departing last evening from M. Tierney. Strangely or not, I had a very strong thought of Bruce and Laurie just last week! Great memories of fun as we followed and supported "The Rage" (Rock band), as we watched Laurie and Rebecca (who no doubt was there to meet and welcome Bruce in the heavenly realm)!
My memory of Bruce was a good natured, comfortable conversationalist. He was a deep thinker. He was deeply committed and loved his Laurie immensely!!! She was his "rock star" in all areas of his life. My deepest sympathy for Bruce's loved ones and his rather early departure from this life. May God's Holy Spirit bless and comfort you Laurie and Charles and fill you with all the best memories as he lives on in your hearts ♥ Glenda

You were a kind person for the world we live in. You will always be in our thoughts and hearts.
