Not sure what to say?

Bruce was a beautiful soul. I will always value or talks and bus trips.

I was sorry to hear of Bruce's passing

I will always remember Bruce as a kind, gentle soul. Since one of Bruce's younger sisters, Mary Ruth, was my best friend in grade school (the only other girl in my class of 8 pupils at Plumstead Christian Day School), I spent a lot of time after school at the Leatherman farm. I remember Bruce as a fun-loving big brother.

Later I enjoyed catching up with Bruce and Helen when I attended Palo Alto Mennonite Church (now Mountainside Bible Church) with my sister and brother-in-law, Barb...

Prayers and sympathy to the family. Arlan still has the nice wooden tractor from you when he had surgery

Always a pleasure to do business with. He will be greatly missed by ROY and I.

I'm sorry to hear of Bruce's passing. I, too, served in Algeria 1963-65 at Henchir Toumghani on the farm. Every Sat night we cranked two batches of delicious ice-cream using the milk from the cows Bruce cared for. He was a conscientious worker and was instrumental in seeing that many poor farmers worked and got a first calf heifer. He cared about the Algerian people and our MCC PAX program. I enjoyed working with Bruce and learning to know him during our two years together.

Always be remembered as a darn nice guy and brother in Christ!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bruce was a dear, gentle soul. My condolences to his family.
