I will always remember Bruce’s smile and laughter.
He was truly one of a kind..
I never saw him angry even the one Christmas Party at Kings we were having a great time and I was dancing on the table! He simply came over with that smile reached out his hand to help me down!!
Didn’t have to say a word just used that Smile!!

The world was a better place with him on it!!

I hope he’s smiling down on his family and waiting for our arrival

God Bless

Last night, along with hundreds of Bruce's family and friends I said good-bye for the final time. He was an exemplary son, brother, father, uncle, friend, and brother-in-law to Susan. His warm personality and sunny smile will be missed eternally.

His golden heart stopped beating

May he rest in peace. Amen.

I want to thank you for being my friend. From our early years working in the kitchen and doing out jobs at Kings, the middle years of raising our kids, and well into these later years of just enjoying life with some sand between our toes and a cocktail of choice in our hands. My life was so much better with you as a friend, and so much sadder today with you yanked away. RIP brother Falcon, and keep an eye out for me when I come your way.
