Not sure what to say?

Goober, it's hard to realize you are gone. Over the years, we've remained friends. Hold a chair in Heaven for me ole friend.

During the early 70's, I really enjoyed being around "Goober" and working with him at U.S. Steel in the Brickmason Department. His humor made up for bad days. He will be missed.

What a great big mischievous grin he had. A real sweet guy. Sorry to hear that he's gone.

always loved Goober's smile and attitude of helpfulness. Know he has left a void yet many warm and wonderful memories. Rocko Muir EHS

Sorry I could not attend the funeral as I was out of town. "Goober" Bruce was among my best friends. I remember him as great EHS football player who played hard. Also, he loved life and showed it. RIP Bruce !

Our deepest sympathies on the passing of one helluva guy. Corky and Becky Harris

I worked at City Hall in Hueytown where I met Bruce. I will always remember his voice, laugh, and smile. He was especially happy when leaving work and exclaiming "Let's go turkey hunting!" Praying for his family.

I received the Honor of getting to know and love Bruce when Dave married my daughter Patricia. Bruce was funny and kind to me . Welcomed me right into the family, made me feel right at home.We discussed everything from politics to tractors. I will miss him at Abbys birthday parties.God Bless you my friend.
