Mr. Bruce W. Melton

To the Melton family:
I am very saddened to learn of Bruce's passing. I remember him from my beginning years with the Virginia Employment Commission in the early 70's. Bruce had an infectious sense of humor. When I would come by his office to pick up daily microfilm, he would always have a joke to tell or something to say that would keep a smile on my face the rest of the day. Humanity has lost a wonderful individual. May God continue to bless you in your period of bereavement

Teri:
I am sorry I never had the pleasure
of meeting you, but I just want to tell you that Bruce and I were the best of buddies while in school at
Thomas Jefferson. We both played
in the band. Bruce was a tuba player
and I was in the drum section. I
cannot believe he is gone, but believe me, I will never ever forget
this guy. He still means a lot to me.

Teri-
Please accept my sincere sympathy. Bruce was one of the nicest looking, kindest friends I ever had. He was a class gentleman. We had so many good times together. Bruce could always find humor in any situation and he truly cared about people. It was an honor and a pleasure to know him and be his friend and he mine. Bruce was the kind of man you never forget. Bruce once had a boat named "My Pleasure" but it was my pleasure to know him. Sincerely, Mac McGee

James ( Jim ) Hall:

Bruce and I used to ride motorcycles together. He was a good sport, a good friend, and loved to laugh and tease and have fun with his buddies. He always was smiling and had a great outlook on life. God Bless Him, we will all miss him.

Dear Teri -- I am so saddened about Bruce. He was such good company and as I read remembrances of him from old friends I am reminded of his zest for life. Peace be with you. Your friend, Jean

Teri
You and Bruce were great neighbors and friends who were missed immediately when you moved to GA. Very sorry to hear about our buddy, Bruce. We look at your house every day expecting to see you both, especially since Britt trots over to your garage for a visit everytime she goes out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love always, Linda & Charlie

Teri,
Unfortunately I never had the chance to meet you but Bruce and myself went to school together at Thomas Jefferson H.S. in Richmond and played in the Cadet Band. He found out someway that I was a Realtor in the Northern Neck of Virginia and contacted me when you came back to Florida from Costa Rica about the possibility of finding a waterfront property in our area of Virginia. We spoke briefly and I had hoped to see him but we lost contact once again. We had some great times at TJ...

I spent many hours water skiing with Bruce. He loved to dance, he loved to ski, he LOVED LIFE. God Bless him in his new journey. He had personality plus, always seemed to be in a good mood. He was a good friend and a good man.

I was one of many that had the pleasure of working with Bruce when he worked for the Commonwealth of VA. He always kept you in high spirits and will be missed by many of his fellow co-workers here in Virginia.
