Not sure what to say?

Bruce was a Charter Member of the South Carolina Barbeque Association. We will miss him and his expertise at knowing "Good Que".

Dear Gloria, Brooke and Tess,
Bruce was a great person and so loved by many people. He always had a way of making people feel good with his sense of humor and his smile. I am thinking of you and my prayers are with you.

To The Family and Club Members,

We Are Truly Sorry At Our Loss.
As Brooks in-law and club member I am even more sorry that I did not get to know Bruce better by being on the cooking committee and not by just eating that good food.

I believe that a person is judged not by what they have but by what they leave.

Bruce knew, "How To Leave A Legacy". And the way to do it is as follows:

1. GET GOOD AT SOMETHING.
He gave his children a very
caring...
