Bruce will be missed mostly by his neighbors at the Boulders community as he volunteered his time on the Board and various committees to help keep our community a better and a safer place to live. He touched the lives of all of us whether you knew him or you didn't. He will be sorely missed by all. Rest in peace my friend!

Bruce was a very good friend that I will truly miss. He was always so concerned about my family, he never forgot to ask about how my Son Dakota was doing. We enjoyed talking about family and business and Ohio State & Nebraska Football. I will miss you Bruce.

A Toast to our dear friend Bruce. He lived a very special life and enjoyed every minute of it until his health failed him. He lived to see the sports teams play and was so privileged to know many of the sports people very well. We will never forget touring with him the new Indians ballpark and his home a few years ago. What a treat!!
Though we were separated by distance, we kept in touch. I used my medical background to advise him and we had many long talks about his health.
Our sympathy and love to his family. We will miss his wonderful approach to a life well lived.
