WOW! I heard a rumor about Bruce's passing and didn't think it was possible. So, I checked the obituary and there it was. I am soo sorry to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories from all the time I used to spend over at the Stahnke house. I remember playing "ghost", grocery shopping late at night and I remember Bruce taking Kristi and I driving when we were very young (don't tell my mom, she still doesn't know). Bruce was a very kind, loving and generous man. He is deeply missed...

I use to be Bruce's neigbor in Prior Lake and our kids grew up together. He was a good neighbor and father. My heart goes out to Kristi and Travis and his grandchildren. I wish we stayed more in touch. The family is in our thoughts and prayers.

It was a pleasure working with you. It's too bad you couldn't have spent more time at your cabin at Woman Lake. I'll miss working with you at SGI and our conversations.

My Dear Bruce,
I'm so sorry you had to leave our children and Grandchildren so soon.
I was there at the Hospital for you at the end and many other times when you needed me. Randy and I tried to help you when Kristi was going to move and did everything we could to comfort you.
Please give our LOVE to my DEAR Mother, Brother Jim and Daughter Rachel as I'm sure you are all together now. Funny how 14 years of marriage can still keep us close.
We had 15 years together and had...
