Happy Birthday Dad. You are a Great Grandpa! Your great grandson looks so much like you and he is already riding a little motor cycle. Your great grand daughter has your Mom´s name, she reminds me of you she has that sparkle in her blue eyes. We talk about you all the time, wish you were here making us all laugh. The world was safer with you in it. I know you´re watching over us all. Thank you for bringing Bowie to visit my dreams. I love you.

Dad, You have been gone for 5 years, I miss you everyday. I am stronger because I am your daughter there in only love now and all the very best memories and stories. You have become a legend here, your Granddaughters love and adore you, but you know that, You are "The Big Fish" you have become your stories and you will never ever be forgotten. I love you Dad.

I'll always be thankful for Bruce's efforts in starting my commercial aviation career. Bruce was well connected in the business and those connections helped me transition from military aviation to my dream job of flying for a major airline.

Thanks Bruce, you won't be forgotten. Someday I hope to return the favor by helping someone else realize a lifetime dream.

Bruce was one of our customers. He always had a great story to tell, was always interested in everything and everyone, and always brought his dog with him. We just loved him! When he stopped coming in, we didn't know what had happened. Did we make him upset? No, he was just not able to come by any longer. Oh, dear Bruce, thank-you for all the special visits, and thank-you for being such a loyal customer. Not many like you around here anymore. God Bless your family and help them through...

Bruce was one of my Dad's best friends-
Bruce and my Dad, John Christensen, both loved to try out new cars, motorcycles and bicycles. Both up for a challenge and to find the new best buy.
Bruce sold me one of his many Toyota trucks; for a great buy. Of course I think it was his best one! I still have the white Toyota Tundra he sold me in 2004. Thanks again Buddy Bruce!
It was fun sitting in jury duty with you also. Good times talking about you and my Dad's wild times. Such...

Hi Dad,
I knew this would be hard, I never could have imagined how different this world would feel without you here. You were my great protector, my hero. I know you would tell me to get up and walk or run or take my horse up into the hills and let him run. Will you ask God to help us through this Christmas without you. You were such a kid you could never wait till Christmas morning to open presents, we always took those car ride's on Christmas eve so your friends at the Tower could give...

By Rusty. I'm the only bike rider alive, I have enyoyed the bike ride we: John, You and I took many times in Baja Mexico.

I worked with Bruce for several years, either in the Division or the field. No matter wbat the issue was or the tragedy he was dealing with, he could always be counted to do his best.
I trust he has Heaven under control by now and clearing newcomers to land...Take care and know he will be missed.........jacque

I worked for and with Bruce for many years at Oxnard Tower. He was a generous man who always had a ready smile and a joke. He showed so much compassion when my daughter was diagnosed with cancer and supported me in many ways throughout the years. He missed his son terribly and is finally joined with him. Safe passage Bruce, you will be missed. With much love, Norine and Jennifer Harwood
