Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss. R.I.P.

Bruce was a great guy, a good friend, an excellent repairman, and just a good person to have around. I am at a loss for words as to how much I will miss him, as I knew if I had a problem with anything, Bruce was always willing to let me know what needed done and if he thought I could do it. He wasn't about the money, he would do his best to help either way. I am sorry for your loss.

We are so very sorry to hear of Bruces passing. He was a fine man and super air conditioning professional. He will be missed.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of your dad! Prayers for comfort headed your way.
