Bruce P. Apel

My deepest sympathies to all of you in your time of loss. I had the wonderful privilege of working for Bruce at my time at MSA. I would like to pass along the most touching memory I will have of him. When my Stepfather passed away in December of 2007, it was a very moving moment to look up at the funeral to see my boss standing there waiting to show his respects to a man he never knew. That act of kindness he showed for his employees, was just one reason he was a kind, wonderful man.

Jackie, My deepest sympathies to you and your family. My prayers and love are with you at this time.

I will miss our shade tree mechanic conversations. Thanks for all your help over the years here at MSA. You gave it your best shot - now your in his glory.

Jackie, Samantha & Joey:

Regardless of everything he went through over the years, Bruce lived his life to the fullest and kept his sense of humor every day. His courage and determination was an inspiration to all who knew him.

May you find strength in the love of family, and in the warm embrace of friends. He will be missed.

With Deepest Sympathy,
