Bruce R. Toole

I watched my next older cousin Bruce metamorphose from a kid totally uninterested in the horses I liked, through a teen diesel mechanic-inventor, through an army vet with a gift for story-telling, through a precise logician in the only UM course we took together, to one of Montana'sbest and most admired attorneys. And more importantly, one of the finest men I've ever known. Also, one of the funniest. I'll miss him sorely.

I only met Bruce once or twice. I'm sorry to hear of his passing, as it seems that the family grows more distant. Yet the roots are still present. God bless all.

Dad in his younger days

Bruce and his family are longtime family friends. Condolences to his great family.

Bruce was a great guy. He always made me laugh.

One of my favorite memories of Grampa Bruce was when he gave Ross and me one free flying lesson each for our tenth birthday. He, along with a flying instructor, took each one of us high into the sky in some tiny Cesna while mom and Nana sat on the ground watching. We had the time of our lives -- I can only imagine what Nana and Mom were thinking while they waited on the runway... needless to say, we didn't go for another flying lesson.

GBP, I love you and will miss you very much.

We will miss Dad. He was a kind and loving father.
