Not sure what to say?

Bruce Bayer was a constant point of fascination and admiration for me for as long as I can remember. A charming and generous man, Bruce lived a long and enviable life with my beloved Aunt Pitty (Patricia). To have earned his respect and enjoyed his company was truly a privelage. I will miss him very much.

My deepest sympathy to the Bayer family and friends for your loss. May the God of all comfort strengthen you during this difficult time.

As a young man, Bruce was drafted into military service to serve honorably in World War II. When Bruce talked about being at Omaha Beach on DDay, he always said, with tears in his eyes, "I never pulled a body from the ocean that had one grey hair". In April of this year, Bruce, Pat and I went to Omaha Beach -- it was the honor of my life. Bruce will never be forgotten. God bless his soul.
