Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman,
Just wanted to take a moment to send my condolences with the recent passing of Bruce. I first met Bruce in the early 90's as a young Marine Sgt, and we both shared the passion of not only being US Marines but collecting Marine Corps memorabilia and guns. He was a mentor of mine and it was an honor to call him my friend. I am now a retired SgtMaj and live in the Jacksonville area. I recently spoke to Bruce, mainly about his trip to Hawaii, and his anticipation of going back to stay at the hotel on the beach. He was a great man who will be sorely missed here in the community. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all during this difficult time. Please let me know if I can be can be of any assistance down here, will always be here if needed.
Sincerely and Semper Fidelis,
SgtMaj William Frye USMC (Ret)
