Read MoreIt’s coming up on one year now and I still have to catch myself every time I go to Lowe’s. I still look for you, the minute I walk through the door. I am so grateful that we took the time to make things right. There were so many things I needed to tell you. But mostly I needed to see you smile. You are . Always have been.. Always will be until I see you smile again.. Ducklips ♡

After meeting Bruce in Lowe's, it was apparent that he had never met a stranger. It was my aunt, uncle, girlfriend and myself. We went to order some shower doors and ended up spending over an hour talking about EVERYTHING from DIY home improvements; marriage; the military; and the police force. When I cussed, I excused myself and he laughed. After listening for awhile I understood why he laughed when I excused myself. After that, no conversation was off limits. It was like that every visit!...

My prayers are with the Hart family. Bruce was friends with my brothers and I would see him often when we were kids and my brothers teenagers. Bruce was always very nice and friendly. I had no idea he was in Law Enforcement to my surprise because I too was a sheriff’s deputy in Jefferson Parish for decades and never crossed paths with our agencies. RIP my fellow LEO !
