Payne family,
I worked with Bruce at Liftech. He was a character who will be greatly missed around here. He always had a smile and something funny to say. I hope Bruce is up in heaven right now, racing against Dale Earnhardt and beating him! That would be heaven for Bruce. I can picture the huge grin on his face. I spent the last 3 years trying to find Bruce and Natalie at Watkins Glen. The first year I couldn't even find their site. The second year I found the site but, they weren't...

We are saddened to hear of your loss and cannot express how sorry we are. We understand this time is not an easy one and hope you are doing as well as it is expected.

My dear friends:

Thank you for all of the kind words regarding Bruce. There is a hole in my heart the size of the moon, but I am consoled by the fact that I have 30 years of memories to help me get through this. He was a man who lived his life to the fullest and it was sad to see him sick. He fought valiantly to the end, without a bit of self-pity, only concern for those of us who loved him. I was very lucky to have him as long as I did and I know that he was acutely aware of...
