Not sure what to say?

It is hard to believe its been five years since you left us. You were my entire life and it has been so difficult without you. You truly were my other half. I pray that you are resting in peace with the Lord and that we will be together again. With all my love always,
Sandy

I came across Bruce's obituary this afternoon. I worked with Bruce many years ago at WHP-TV. He was by far one of my favorite people. The thing that impressed me the most is his love of the Savior, Jesus Christ. He had such great faith. What a wonderful man!

Bruce always had a smile, great sense of humor and his friendship was genuine. Both couples spent many happy times together. Bruce and my husband spent many years in radio together. Both Bruce and my husband are now together again in a greater place. He is sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. God Bless

Traveling through life for more than 50 years with your best friend is a blessing not given to all. Selfishly, I would like to have every one of those years back--to hold his hand as we always did, but yet a little tighter. Our "vacations" were those many mornings of breakfast out together before our workdays began. That will always be a treasured memory. As they say, it truly was a long and difficult goodbye to my soul mate who will always be the wind beneath my...

Dear Sandy and family, I just heard of Bruces passing. My thoughts andprayers are with your family. As neighbors on Hunter Lane a long time ago my thoughts turn to the happy times we all had together with my Mom Alvena and my father Martin. I feel your loss. So sorry to hear this news

Sandy and family, I just heard of Bruce's passing. My heart and prayers go out to all of you as I remember the days we spent together as neighbors so long ago in North Wales. I know the pain of Alzheimer's having lost my mother (Alvena) to it last year, after losing Dad (Marty) just a few months before. I miss them so much every day and appreciated your warm condolences at their passings. We had such good times together when we were young for those couple of years we lived next to each...

At Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, Bruce was our class sponsor from the end of our sophomore year through our senior year (1960-1962). And what a tremendous sponsor he was! He was involved in everything we did as a class and, often times, was the driving force behind what we did. He demonstrated true interest in each and every student and would make time for each one of us. He had our backs! He was always there – no matter what was going on – and always ready to pitch in and help. He was...

Too often life steals away the possibility to truly connect with our parents once we hit adulthood. Even more depressing is when actions and/or words deny us that opportunity. I am extremely thankful that I was blessed with that chance and mature enough to appreciate it. I miss my father very much, and appreciate everything both he and my mother ever did for me. I never wish to think of the type of person I would have become without their guidance and unconditional love. I only hope that one...

Dear Sandy - so sorry to hear of the passing of Bruce. He made a significant contribution to Spartan Football for many years. No one was as competent as Bruce as a public address announcer for high school football ! Beyond that , his friendship and loyalty was always genuine and unwavering !! God Bless.
