Not sure what to say?

Hey Bruce, lots of folks still wishing that you were still around here. The world is always in need of good people. At 77 and near the threshold of the "here after" myself, crossing paths somewhere along the trail would be good . God bless.

Hey Bruce You wouldn´t likely remember me, we ate lunch together at work one day. Our casual conversation included fishing tales and current events. It was clear then that you were the kind person anyone could enjoy hanging out with. Gos bless you and keep you well.

Rereading Bruces obituary and summary of accomplishments has me feeling very small. I didn´t know Bruce well or for very long but in a short time it became obvious that his core being was special in many ways. God rest his soul.

There´s an older fisherman's saying That goes: "For every day one spends fishing, one or two days are added To the end of ones life". We would have done well to line up outside his residence Daily. Good guy in every way.

Yep, Bruce was a good guy and the world was a better place with him.
God bless you brother.

A man who allowed everyone around him to feel acknowledged, accepted and listened to. With his lovable sense of humor he brightened up any conversation and made one feel at home. Thank you Bruce, you will always be there to make me smile when times are rough. Wendy and Brian, may the strength return as time passes, and the everlasting memories help you along the way.
