Iam so sad to hear about the loss of a such a good friend in our high school years. I have thought of Bruce many, many times over the years and looked for him at our high school reunions.
I ill always have those great memories and only wish I could have seen him again over the years.

Bill and I are very sad to hear about Bruce and our thoughts and prayers are with Elizabeth and family. We have the best memories of Halloween parties they hosted for years, fun times going to the Chimney Rock Hill Climb, Bruce's passion for his Morgan (car) and just hanging out together when they lived in Greenville. While it has been awhile since we have seen Bruce and Elizabeth, we fondly remember our times with both of them.
