Bruce will be missed so much, but we will rejoice with him in his new, healthy body once again someday! We love all of you and are praying for all of the Family.
1For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down, we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 2 Corinthians 5:1-2

We have many, many good memories from great times spent together. From the Florida beaches and attractions to the Grand Canyon -- with Washington DC and the Maine woods in between. He always added a wonderful dimension to our experiences of the day, with his quick mind and energy and mischievous sense of humor. We have lost a treasured family member, but he will live on in our memories as an example of living a valiant life despite the cards one is dealt. May he rest in peace. Lots of love from a hearbroken Aunt Jane and Uncle De

Our Grandson Bruce, Jr. is resting peacefully now in Heaven. Throughout his many health problems Bruce always remained positive about life. Bruce, Jr. will be remembered by us as a loving, kind Grandson, who we adored and having a brilliant mild, would have loved teaching Math, which he was going to college to become a teacher, and always had a good sense of humor and a way of life. He had a great love of chocolate pizzelles too! We will always remember Bruce, Jr. in our hearts, mind and prayers, Our love always, Grandma Alice and Grandpa Anthony Kolek.
