My late husband Charlie and I met Bruce for the first time when he dug the foundation hole for our house here in Hillsboro. Although every person in this world is unique, I think none was more unique than Bruce!!! How many other guys do you know who could operate pretty much any piece of heavy machinery AND use a sewing machine to turn out gorgeous ladies swimwear? Bruce was really one of a kind and he will be so incredibly missed!!

During this difficult time in your lives, may you be comforted by God's Word, the Bible. James 4:8 encourages; "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you." My condolence to the family

Bruce was exceptional. There's no other word to sum him up as he was SO many things to and for so many people. I'm so disappointed he's no longer with us, but so proud of him for taking control of his own life. I loved him, and he will be missed terribly.
