Not sure what to say?

I remember our last time together with family at a restaurant in Tampa and Uncle Bruce and I got lost in an aviator conversation and I remember him using his hands as if flying the airplane

Lynne,Nancy and family sorry to hear of Uncle Bruces passing. Tremendous loss he was "A Real Gem" I know he will be welcomed by Aunt Jean and all.

My sister and I send our love. We have so many great memories of your Dad and Mom. Just two wonderful people, who shared a wonderful life. Lynne and Nancy, you are in our hearts, along with all your family. Our parents live in our hearts as well, forever.

We fondly rmember "Uncle Bruce and Aunt Jean" from here in snowy Syracuse, NY.
Uncle Bruce was the "hero" of the Corcoran family. Grandma Corky loved to brag about their accomplishments.
Our family has grown distant with all the passings, we only have memories.
Farewell Uncle Bruce,
Jim and Loretta Corcoran

Always fun times with uncle Bruce and aunt Jean and now you too are together again in heaven! Probably Laughing and giving presents to every one!!

Uncle Bruce, you have always been such a big part of our lives, from the days in Syracuse when you trusted your family to us when you were overseas (and so that I had sisters) to our times in Florida when all the kids and grandkids gathered for holidays or just ordinary days..Love you
Jeanette & Jim Kappen

Uncle Bruce, what can I say you and Aunt Jean have always been wonderful for my family and me. When we were all in California together, I miss those visits to your house. I remember you joking telling me at my re-enlistment in 1986 that when you look at me from the left I am a petty officer but when you look at me from the right I am nothing. You mean a lot to a lot of people and will be greatly missed. I know Aunt Jean is happy to see you again and you her.
