How we will miss his sweet smile...Bruce and Edith were always able to make life a little more fun for others. I remember vividly our youth group trip to the lake, and trying to learn to water ski with him at the helm of the boat. Did I mention he was also VERY patient? He and Edith contributed so much time and effort to the Harford Fair goings-on with their horses and carriage collection, not to mention adding warm color with the horses to parades and weddings and trail rides... And he...
