Bruce was one of a kind! A kind hearted, joyful soul will be missed by many. I visited him in the nursing home when I was home in March and we laughed and cut up and reminisced about high school memories. My heart hurt when I found out about his passing but knowing he’s walking in heaven without crutches or a wheelchair makes me smile. Bless you my dear friend Brucie!

I always admired the way you looked out for everyone, like the mayor .... I was glad to get you anything you needed as I saw you ask for blankets for others who couldn’t ask themselves and we all know you are with God now looking down on us and watching over your girls here who are breaking themselves giving the care everyone needs . This pandemic has been no joke and has taken far too many lives too soon. My mother enjoyed talking to you very much and you will be greatly missed my dear friend

Oh Bruce, you were one of a kind. You treated me from day one like you knew me your whole life. My kids too. You would FaceTime them quite often and they loved peaking through your window since March. You frequently asked for new pictures and always expected my daughter to be making faces. I know how much you loved my crazy little girl, she loved you too. You will forever have a special place in my heart. Thank you for all the laughs and memories. And please know, I have your four leaf clover. Love you always my friend. Rest easy now.

Bruce was a very funny guy. I got to know him while I would visit my Uncle Butch who was his roommate. He was truly one of a kind. He will be missed.

There are not enough words in the English language to express how much your passing hurts!!! I love you so much Bruce. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that NO ONE can take the place of your impression on soooo many of our lives! When I think of the true definition of friend, I can see no one more clearly than you Bruce. I love you more than words can ever express!!! You will forever be in my heart!!!! Gone too soon. I am so sorry Bruce, you didn’t deserve this
Love always,
Your Q-Maggoo

Bruce and our dear Tony quickly became friends at the nursing home... as well as with my mom. He was always there to help in any way he could, always looking out for our Tony....we had many laughs and fun times when we visited daily, Bruce always dropped in to say hi and chat with us....Tony was fond of his buddy and we will miss him very much.... one of the best!

My beautiful friend! I will never ever forget you. You always had the advice I needed or the joke to make me laugh after a bad shift. I loved everything about you. You touched my heart. People like you don’t come often. Once I finish nursing school and buy my house, I hope you’ll be looking down! I’ll miss you more then you know!
Love you forever Bruce ❤

Bruce was an amazing man. As I would walk down the hall to start my shift at 11pm he would look for me and say "Hey Squeaky!" He called me that bc I use to have Squeaky shoes. If I was in a bad mood or tired he would me it all better in the morning when I took care of him to get up. He use to tell me all the time he was madly in love with me and that I should tell my husband to get out bc he was moving in. I will miss you Bruce. You have and will always have a special spot in my heart.
I love you Bruce
